Design for Assembly Checklist Items 1. minimizing part count 2. encouraging modular assembly 3.

designing parts with self-fastening features (snap fits, press fits) 4. using standard parts 5. stacking subassemblies from the bottom up 6. designing parts with self-locating features (e.g., chamfers, aligning recesses/dimples) 7. eliminating reorientation (i.e. insertion from two or more directions) 8. facilitating parts handling (grasp, orient, move) 9. minimizing levels of assembly (number of assemblies) 10. eliminating (electric) cables
