Development of DFM:
DFM is a mindset in which equips designers with the mindset, skill and knowledge needed to create products or produce machining methods whilst considering all aspects behind the venture. It also provides the knowledge to propose ideas undertaking research and developments into concepts of the product in question before mass production commences. The idea is embedded into the mindset of designers and manufacturers alike to allow them to make the necessary decisions with the industry and potential consumers in mind whilst keeping a sustainable approach. DFM also considers the costs, tolerances, limits the process of production and possible consumer appeal. Also enforcing research to be carried out to find out the effectiveness of the machining used and how the sample range will be effective to meet their purpose. DFM in short is the ability to ensure the right decisions are made with extensive research has been put in and all aspects to the design has been considered. below I will place a image to illustrate DFM:
The Importance of Design for Manufacture (DFM), Design for Manufacture & assembly (DFMA) :
Design for manufacture is a term used for being innovative when designing a product. The term itself has the distinctive meaning of manufacturing a product with ease. So what are the important considerations behind DFM? it not only considering the manufacturing process of the product it also considers the development of the product, reducing costs of
With the dawn of the 16th century began the worldwide interest for expanding ones empire as well as looking for new trade routes that would bring new product to different parts of the world more efficiently. At the head stone of these new advances were three of the most powerful nations in the world at this time. Spain, France and England These three nations, although they were all looking to occupy an area of the world that was relatively new for each of them, did not always share the same intentions. Because of this Spain, France and England shared some similar and some very different experiences. Dealings with the Native Americans, colonization and trade were just some of the issues where there was
This all relates to technology. When the technology is up to date it reduces process times and in the end it helps to create more profit for the company because work is done faster, customer needs are met in a timely fashion and there is less waste.
1. Design for production. In BMW, designing is the first thing in development. However I think, design people don’t consider efficient production engineering. If they make production engineering into design consideration, the development process will be more efficient and quality problems and period will decrease. However the creativity can be injured.
Product development: Using the plastic moulding skills, it can develop new or improved products that will appeal to the customers (for example, improved skylights to reduce heat loss).
Chandler (1977) believes strategy is about using the necessary recourses so the organizations are able to carry out their long-term goals and aims. Which relates to Johnson (1987, pp. 4-5) who states, “Strategic decisions occur at many levels of managerial activity and will be concerned with the long-term direction”.
When a product is designed a specification is created to determine the standards for the product. In manufacturing these standards are given an allowable range. The most common attributes for these types of products are size, shape, color, weight, and piece count. The standards placed on these attributes determine the material used, equipment needed for processing, and labor. The tighter the standards are on these attributes the higher the cost is to produce. In today’s market, there is a demand to produce high quality products at competitive price
To Kill a Mockingbird, author Harper Lee uses unhypocritical, more experienced characters like Atticus to expose Jem and Scout to adult knowledge. Their adult influence is what brings about the empathetic growth and maturity of Jem and Scout.
To continue, there are various other denials of “the argument of design” that coincide with the different ways of organizing the argument. To begin, the dilemma surrounding the analogical argument is that an analogy is not a sound enough way to develop an argument, but also that the alleged resemblance is relatively distant and stretching to form a sound argument (Ratzsch, 2005). This is trying to say that the other design-like qualities of nature are in very little respects similar to mankind and thus, an entity may not necessarily have designed them. It is trying to say that using an analogy is not always clear due to the many required elements that could fall through the cracks when deciding whether or not an argument is worth backing. Despite the truth in this, it is not implausible to suggest that many of the characteristics of nature are rather similar to that of mankind, and that mankind is in fact just another designed aspect of nature. Both other,
Anyone who has paid attention to the facts involving the Casey Anthony trial should agree that she was a guilty woman. The jury chosen for Casey Anthony’s trial found her not guilty for the murder of her two-year-old daughter, Caylee ; however, she was found guilty for four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer. Now the question flowing through everyone’s mind is why did she lie if she had no reason to? It seems very unusual for someone to lie about something so serious such as murder. This is why Casey Anthony should have been found guilty for a lot more than a couple of white lies.
The design should be utmost unique and further differentiated, not conforming to culture. Design is could be one competitive advantage so it is important that the manufacturing of the products are conformed to the original ideas of the maker, uninfluenced by any other factors involved in its manufacturing process. Example of this idea is the use of differentiation strategy of companies to gain competitive advantage.
The Design Argument is an argument that says there is a “God” who is the creator of all things. Within this argument, it is stated that things have to be designed – the main example being used is a machine. Cleanthes compares the universe to a machine. They both have many different parts that all work together, but how? The Design Argument says that “God”, or some deity, designed these different elements and pieces in a way so that they can all work together. For a machine to work, all of the pieces must fit together purposefully. When you think about the creator of a machine, for example an engineer, you would most likely think of some intelligent person who created the pieces to make them all fit and work together. Because the world is similar to a machine, by analogy, it too must be created by something intelligent – but on a much grander scale than us.
1. What are the primary principles of Universal Design AND how can these be applied to educational contexts? (2 points) Universal Design is the practice of incorporating the needs of disabled individuals into the buildings, schools, and businesses. The primary principles of Universal Design are equitable use, flexibility, simplicity, perceptible information, forgiveness of mistakes, decreased physical effort, and space.
• Skill in designing products for efficient manufacturing, for example, having a small component count to shorten the assembly process.
The market introduction project of a new product is as important as its design project. When a company is budgeting for a new product project, it is fundamental to include the marketing expenses in the initial budget, thus, the company will not have future surprises. Dr. Levoy, in his article, The difference between efficiency and effectiveness, he explains that it may be a waste of time if a company has an entirely efficient manufacturing process, however, at the end is not effective, or does not achieve its objective, such as bringing more clients or selling a new product, (Levoy, B., 2011). This is the importance of a marketing project, the marketing professionals can sell ideas, products, services, anything that is marketable, and if a company is launching a product I believe that the goal is to reach the customers. Therefore, to understand well our plan for Fiat Chrysler and the launching of the new Jeep Wrangler Pickup Truck, we design the following schema to explain the plan details: 1. A fast explanation of the actual market and some challenges; 2. Explanation of the nature of the new product to be launched and its industry; 3. The marketing project to introduce the new product to the customers; 4. Explanation of how we will use the Total Quality Management - TQM tools to measure and control the marketing plan execution; 5. How FCA already applies TQM philosophy to achieve client satisfaction and how we can expand the use of TQM
the Design of Goods and Services is fairly much of the transformation process in a firm. The design of process is extremely influential in determining decisions relating to business elements such as Cost, quality, human resources. Additionally, to survive in the business arena, a firm must design goods and services to meet the needs and wants of their customers (Heizer & Render, 2011).
