Abstract

The project is based on an industrial product which will be used to apply Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) for improvement. There are some significant problems faced by the company such as resources in analysis and development of the existing design products and assembly process. The objectives of this project are mainly to propose an improvement on the design of the Multi Purpose Outdoor Cabinet (MPOC) by optimizing the usage of manufacturing processes and minimize the number of components in an assembly or on the parts. A discussion is also included on the differences between traditional manufacturing development and DFMA approach which is more helpful in the product design development. The background and explanation of the basic concept and method of Boothroyd Dewhurst DFA, Lucas DFA method and the Hitachi Assembly Evaluation Method (AEM) were compared and discussed in this report. Lucas DFA methodology is chosen in this research and will be use to look up for an efficiency in assembly flow of the product. The analysis was done using DFA TeamSET to improve efficiency and effectiveness of assembly process. In addition, the Time Study method has been used in order to identify the total estimated reduction of cycle time for the product in Assembly Department. Based on the improvement design report, graph chart is plotted and shows the reduction in percentage.
