Design for Manufacturability can make a critical difference in getting your product to market and into the revenue stream. Research has shown that decisions made during the design period determine 70% of the product's costs while decisions made during production only account for 20% of the product's costs. Read Part II.

Design for Manufacturability and Concurrent Engineering are Proven Design Methodologies that Work for any Size Company

Design for manufacturability and concurrent engineering are proven design methodologies that work for any size company, according to Dr. David M. Anderson, P.E., CMC, in his recent article, "Design For Manufacturability." Early consideration of manufacturing issues shortens product development time, minimizes development cost, and ensures a smooth transition into production for quick time to market, according to Dr. Anderson. The article is based on his book, Design For Manufacturability and Concurrent Engineering. Learn more about Dr. Anderson's practical methodologies.
