Abstract

The goal of this project is to show how Design Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) may be used in the product development process. The study chair is the product chosen for use in the DFMA process in this project. The goal of this research is to minimise the number of study chair components while also examining the materials and techniques used in the manufacturing of the study chair. Furthermore, the DFMA approach was chosen because of its capacity to quantify the labour cost necessary in the manufacturing process. Boothroyd-Dewhurst DFMA software was utilised to make the analysis easier. This software was chosen because it is successful in reducing the number of components in a product and is easy to use for designers. In conclusion, the DFMA is utilised as the foundation for concurrent engineering studies to offer recommendations to product designers. In addition, using the form characteristic in the compatibility chart as a guide, Design for Manufacturing (DFM) was used to select the best method and material. Furthermore, the Design for Assembly (DFA) stage is an important tool for improving product design. Several suggestions have been made to improve the project, including a study of the possibility for geometry interface part or component data to be connected to the software.
