Design for manufacturing is the process of designing to account for manufacturing constraints. This design process considers the assembly process, testing, and potential factory constraints in early design stages which helps prevent mistakes and makes the overall manufacturing process more efficient. This is on the radar of every manufacturer seeking to drive efficiencies while delivering higher quality products. Through this practice, R&D and manufacturing engineers are aligned and working collaboratively, helping to eliminate the issues that stand in the way of delivering innovative products to market faster. 

Benefits of Design for Manufacturing

• Higher product success rates
• Reduced lead time 
• More cost-effective solutions 
• Transparency in designing and manufacturing
