Abstract

This project implemented the design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) methodology in order to study the design analysis of a baby stroller (Sweet Cherry SCR8 Series) in aspect of part for manufacturing, assembly process and also handling and insertion difficulties. The problem identified in this study is on the features of the stroller that shows a lot of fastener being used and also the usage of both hands in moving the fold latch to fold the stroller. The objectives of this project are to reduce part while maintaining the function of the baby stroller, to compare the efficiency of the original design and after redesign, and also to reduce total assembly time with a new product design of a baby stroller after DFMA analysis. The study has proven to save assembly time by 452.29s which is 23% more efficient than the original design. Further ado, the total cost per product for manufacturing has saved RM 33.41. The number of parts reduced from 179 parts to be 149 parts. The DFA index is also improved from 9.6 to 12.6. The advantages of using DFMA method has been proved in the redesign of the baby stroller.
