Extending the concepts of \u003cem\u003edesign for manufacturability\u003c\/em\u003e to an advanced product development model, the book explains how to simultaneously make major improvements in all these product development goals, while enabling effective implementation of Lean Production and quality programs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrating how to make the most of lessons learned from previous projects, the book proposes numerous improvements to current product development practices, education, and management. It outlines effective procedures to standardize parts and materials, save time and money with off-the-shelf parts, and implement a standardization program. It also spells out how to work with the purchasing department early on to select parts and materials that maximize quality and availability while minimizing part lead-times and ensuring desired functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes how to design families of products for Lean Production, build-to-order, and mass customization\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmphasizes the importance of quantifying all product \u003cem\u003eand \u003c\/em\u003eoverhead costs and then provides easy ways to quantify total cost\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetails dozens of design guidelines for product design, including assembly, fastening, test, repair, and maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents numerous design guidelines for designing parts for manufacturability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows how to \u003cem\u003edesign in \u003c\/em\u003equality and reliability with many quality guidelines and sections on mistake-proofing (poka-yoke) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eDescribing how to design parts for optimal manufacturability and compatibility with factory processes, the book provides a big picture perspective that emphasizes designing for the lowest total cost and time to stable production. After reading this book you will understand how to reduce total costs, ramp up quickly to volume production without delays or extra cost, and be able to scale up production rapidly so as not to limit growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Productivity Press Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038255694064,"sku":"9781482204926","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781482204926_p0.jpg?v=1763624608","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781482204926","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
