Design for LEAN Manufacturing & Assembly Class Overview
This is a two-day class that can be tailored depending a company’s needs
The Best Training On How to Lower Product Cost with
an Immediate Return On Investment
The Design for LEAN Manufacturing and Assembly Class charts a direct line through the causes that account for 80% of the excess cost in products and how to eliminate them. The class provide design check lists for engineers to follow to achieve the best results. Then uses real world examples to show how following the check lists achieve the best results. Special emphasis is given on how to combine parts and reduce part count. Presented are unique concepts of how to design parts to leverage manufacturing processes to achieve extraordinary cost savings. Learn how to design lower cost parts and assemblies for LEAN Manufacturing.
- An engineer used one check list from the combining parts section of class to redesign a typical approach used in the company. The new design resulted in a $22,000 annual cost savings.
Learn The Best Practices to Follow When Designing for LEAN Manufacturing & Lowest Product Cost:
- Translate new product data sheet into coincident set of part requirements to match the needs of the new product.
Workshop: What Happen When Done Poorly.
- Best practices for designing parts at lowest cost.
- Common causes of excess design & how to eliminate these costs.
- Selecting lower cost process or medium to design parts in.
- Best practices for designing parts in different processes, pitfall to avoid & design tricks to lower cost.
- Eliminate fasteners & other poor design practices that cause excess cost.
- The six different approaches of how to combine & eliminate parts in designs.
Workshop: Combining & Eliminating Parts.
- Common causes of excess design in printed circuit boards & cable harnesses.
Truly Designing for LEAN Manufacturing & Lower Cost.
Learn How to Design to Leverage Manufacturing Processes to Dramatically Lower Cost:
- Design for LEAN Manufacturing to eliminate waste in manufacturing to achieve lowest cost.
- Learn what is process utilization & the hidden waste.
- Learn how maximizing utilization can leverage processes to yield the lowest cost.
- Design to maximizing process utilization.
- Design for lower material cost & eliminate drop.
Learn How Product Design Can Lower Manufacturing Cost & Increase Company’s Profits Two Ways.
Learn How to Cost Effectively Design Fabricated Assemblies & Weldments:
- Best practices for designing cost effective weldments.
- Learn new opportunities in product design to lower costs.
- Fixtureless welding & how to dramatically lower weldment cost.
- See how a capital equipment manufacturer significantly lowered new & existing machine product cost, lowered new machine tooling costs by a million dollars & reduced new machine product development time by a year.
- Improve weldment quality, strength with this lowest cost method.
- Use this design approach to lower cost in manufacturing to benefit product cost.
Workshop: Designing Weldments.
- Weldments are an assembly process, the material in this section is a prerequisite to learn how to design for assembly.
This Section Will Open New Way of Thinking About Product Design & How to Lower Costs.
Learn How to Design for LEAN Product Assembly & Total Product Design:
Assembly Begins When We Start to Assemble & Ends When the Product Is in a Shipping Container Ready for the Customer. This is the Process Covered in this Section:
- The primary cost driver in assembly & how to design to attack this cost.
- The common assembly design mistakes & how to eliminate them; including what should never be in assembly & why.
- Best design practices for product assembly, testing & packaging; how to adopt for total product design.
- The legacy factor, how it affects product design & how to break the legacy cycle.
Workshop: Total Product Design Strategy.

Learn Proven Approach to Successfully Modularize Products & Correctly Structure Bill of Materials, BoMs:
- Best practices designing Make & Engineer to Order (MTO/ETO) and Configured Product.
- Learn how modularizing is lowest cost product design method & how it can:
- Lower product & total costs.
- Lower engineering content & time.
- Shorten customer time to market.
- Create flexibility to easily make customer changes.
- Simplify variable parts drawing.
- Shorten fabrication part time.
- Eliminate shortages.
- Improve efficiencies & balance workload.
- Learn how to use BoMs to solve a variety of issues.
- Minimize time delays & expense of an engineering new model release group.
- Design variable size parts to simplify drawings & lower part costs.
- Accelerate fabrication process & balance workloads with variable size parts.
- See real world examples showing how these design principles lower cost.
- Learn how to apply BoMs modularizing concepts to create rapid prototyping capabilities.
Workshop: Redesign ETO into MTO Product.
