The Assessment Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation (30 min)
We'll understand your business: product portfolio, target markets, manufacturing methods (in-house/outsourced), current pain points, and your design workflow. We'll scope which designs to prioritize for deep analysis.
Step 2: Design & Process Review (1–2 weeks)
Your DFMPro expert reviews 3–5 representative product designs using DFMPro's automated manufacturability checks, plus manual engineering assessment. We model your specific production costs, cost structures, and ECO history.
Step 3: ROI & Savings Analysis
We map ROI drivers (tooling, material waste, labor, lead time, assembly steps, etc.) and quantify savings for each finding. Each recommendation gets a cost-benefit model and implementation effort estimate.
Step 4: Findings Presentation & Roadmap (1 hour)
We present your assessment report: total opportunity, ranked recommendations, quick wins, and a phased implementation plan. Our expert will show you how DFMPro automates these checks going forward, so you never leave savings on the table again.
Why HCL DFMPro
Backed by manufacturing expertise, not generic design checklists.
Automation That Scales
This assessment is a pilot. After, DFMPro's automated platform catches these same issues in every design, every day — before they become production problems.
Proven ROI
Typical customers see payback on DFMPro investment within 3–6 months through reduced tooling costs, fewer ECOs, and faster time-to-market.
Strategic Partnership
This assessment is the start. We'll work with your team to build design standards, embed cost discipline into your process, and drive continuous improvement.
