Engg Design Hand-written assignment.

Que.1 Perform a literature research to uncover reports where the applications of DFA or DFMA -type
studies have resulted in product simplification or reductions in manufacturing costs. For each report give
the reference and a brief summary of the findings

Que.2 Definition DFA and DFMA. Explain in details need for DFM, DFM approach for cost reduction,
general design guidelines of DFM, advantages and disadvantages

Que.3 Design of components with casting considerations, Welding considerations

Que.4 In the product development steps, when we have to use the DFMA principle? Write the product
development steps with DFMA consideration?

Que.5 What is the definition of DFA complexity factor? What is the significance of the metric?

Que.6 What are the parameters should be considered while selecting a manufacturing method?

Que.7 What is the effect of symmetry on the time required for part handling?

Que.8 Why is part count reduction so important?

Que.9 Write a short note on reducing the number of parts with respect to its ways and criteria.
