What strategies can you use to streamline your product design for manufacturing?

Repeat with me: SIMPLIFY TO AMPLIFY! ?????? Side effects include: 1- Faster turnaround 2- Reduced capex 3- Improved ROI 4- lower maintenance

A simplifica??o de produtos tem várias vantagens. Produtos simplificados s?o mais fáceis de entender e usar, o que pode atrair e reter mais clientes. Menos complexidade muitas vezes leva a processos mais eficientes de fabrica??o, reduzindo os custos de produ??o. Produtos simplificados podem ser mais acessíveis para uma gama mais ampla de usuários, incluindo aqueles com menos habilidades técnicas. A simplicidade pode resultar em uma experiência do usuário mais agradável e sem frustra??es, o que pode levar à lealdade do cliente e boca-a-boca positivo. Pode lan?ar produtos mais rapidamente no mercado, respondendo às necessidades dos clientes de forma mais ágil e eficaz.

Platforming is used effectively in the automotive industry - many components and subassemblies, engines, transmissions, etc. are reused across multiple vehicles, so it helps speed up time to market, reduces design cycle time and avoids design complexity.

In many cases, reducing the number of material specifications can help consolidate parts diversity so we have higher volumes of parts with fewer specification variation. This also has the combined benefit of avoiding additional unnecessary design work, improve part commonality improves volume leverage that translates into economies of scale and lower costs for the company.

1. Reduce the part number by standardization which covers more than 80% of applications. 2. This will consistently increase the consumption volume and the manufacturing cost can be reduced and profit margin will automatically increased

Standardizing parts in product design streamlines manufacturing, cuts costs, and simplifies inventory. Use common components when possible, and standardize dimensions for custom parts. This enhances efficiency and eases maintenance.?Linking to Kaizen and lean principles, it aligns with continuous improvement and waste reduction.

I agree with all the comments made below, in my experience I have found that it is necessary to create some organizational guidelines and design rules to enable effective standardization. 1. Establish a standardized catalog of components or parts depending on the category. If the designs are complex, it is possible to narrow down the number of specifications that are allowed to be designed into new products 2. Redirect engineering efforts to focus on design activities that truly align to the core competencies of the company - i.e. do not waste time redesigning components for which standard designs or parts are readily available off the shelf. 3. Start measuring standardization - e.g. % of catalog spend within a purchased category of parts.

for m3 3D printing its the best prototypete testing so far! it cheap & easy to acess. Therefore more iterative testing for optimized product could be done in affordable ways. Need to ne understand there also a few of method

Great product design gets you ahead, but being able to adapt keeps you there. Always evolve your product to meet market needs! ?????
