MANU 1175 Design for Manufacture Final Assessment

MANU 1175: Design for Manufacture – Final Assessment Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Date Introduction Design for manufacture, or DFM, is a systematic approach for creating a component that makes the most use of available production techniques. On the other side, design for assembly, or DFA, is a methodical process that creates a product with the greatest possible component utilization. The goal of DFMA is to help designers create simple products that need the least amount of work and time to manufacture and assemble [1]. The goal of the DFMA method is to close the communication gap that exists between production and design staff. Product designers must be cognizant of their aptitude in manufacturing and assembly in order to minimize or even eliminate obstacles in the production cycle. Screw-fastening assembly is one of the most popular fastening methods in industrial assembly [4]. To finish assembly, a number of procedures are used, such as alignment, integrating, insertion, and fastening. After that, the work components are combined through inspection processes to guarantee a high-quality finished product. Therefore, how effectively the assembling task is completed during the assembly process is one of the crucial factors that will greatly impact the assembly quality. A crucial step in the production process is industrial assembly. In a well-made gadget, fasteners like bolts, nuts, and screws can all serve a role. Traditional fasteners that require a lot of work to assemble include bolts and nuts; threaded screwdrivers may require even more work. Integrated pins, such as sticky and snap fittings, are easier to use and often don’t require special tools. The improved design outperforms the original when measuring the design efficiency of the two items. The increased design efficiency is expected to lead to lower costs and quicker assembly times [2]. However, this can also reduce errors, defects, rework, and time for assembly while improving the final product’s reliability and efficiency. This study looks at a shaft assembly. This mechanical arrangement is used in a variety of applications, including fans and other rotating parts. The Boothroyd and Dewhurst technique can be used to determine an appropriate assembly time by evaluating the handling and fitting complexity of a component. A set of tables is used to calculate the amount of time required to handle and put each element into this method [2]. The sum of the times spent handling and connecting
