How DFMPro Can Help

DFMPro enables engineering executives to make informed design decisions and identify and address downstream manufacturability, assembly, quality and serviceability (DFx) related issues during early design stage. DFMPro helps to capture and disseminate industry best-practices and knowledge in the form of DFx design for manufacturing guidelines and brings in standardization across the organization.

Improve product innovation and operational efficiency
Innovation
  • Develop high quality systems designs — 70% of cost of a product is determined at the design stage and optimized designs have better impact on reducing costs.
  • Helps in removing inefficiencies and costs from all stages of the product lifecycle to improve profitability and address shrinking operating margins.
Knowledge capture and reuse, bring in standardization
Knowledge
  • DFMPro helps to capture and disseminate the industry best-practices and knowledge in the form of DFx guidelines and brings in standardization across the Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing organization.
Reduce cost
Cost savings
  • Identifying optimum design alternatives at early stage helps to reduce the cost of the product.
  • Avoid late engineering changes (ECs) and rework, which are significantly more expensive when caught after manufacturing begins.
