About Design for Assembly (DFA) Training


Who is Design for Assembly (DFA) Training for?

Design for Assembly is usually used by Product Design and Development Engineers. Manufacturing, Production, and Quality Engineers; and Procurement professionals must also know DFA to effectively participate in design reviews and assess and challenge the use of DFA or lack thereof. Managers of these functions should understand the terminology and concepts. If you are in or want to be in one of those roles, then DFA Training is for you. In our course, San Diego students learn:

Design for Assembly (DFA) Training Course Overview:

DFA training describes Design for Assembly - how San Diego students can minimize total cost through ease of manufacturing and assembling their designs. Total cost means across the entire company or enterprise; not just total material cost or departmental cost of the Product Design team. Designers must consider implications of capital investment needed for production equipment, utilities, production labor, inspection labor, warranty, etc. Usually, theses costs can be reduced through product simplification, especially those requiring less parts. Students will see how to assess assembly methods, choose one, then quantify the assembly efficiency of their designs using the chosen assembly method.

Silicon Beach

Excellent choice! San Diego began with hide and tallow trade. Once located on San Diego Bay, shipping convenience and the later connection of a railroad triggered the city's growth. The San Diego Zoo was built. A naval base was established, and WWI encouraged avionics attracting defense contractors. Economic diversification spread to education, research including biotech, tourism, and electronics / communication.

Facility

Perhaps most importantly, our San Diego Design for Assembly (DFA) Training facility is near the coast making it understandable that you stay in a cool hotel right on the beach. You might like to try the Boathouse; surf and turf place out on a little peninsula. We're located near major interstates I-5 and I-8 close to NTC Park, naval facilities, Sea World, and the San Diego Zoo.

So happy to get a professional that knows what they're talking about in here to teach us something useful. Our hands-on measurement system analysis exercise revealed problems with one of the gages most frequently used by Quality.

Our SMED instructor did a great job engaging the class with great work examples. From this class, other students agreed that the examples and pace were good, it was a nice overview of SMED / Lean process leading to great discussion, and that the knowledgeable instructor did a great job teaching and keeping it fun.
