Abstract: The essence of CE is the integration of product design and process planning into one common activity. Concurrent design helps improve the quality of early design decisions and has a tremendous impact on life-cycle cost of the product. It is important to decide at an early stage in design which type of assembly method is likely to be adopted, based on the method yielding the lowest costs. This section allows the designer to decide, from the values of basic product and company parameters (production volume, number of parts, etc.) which assembly method is likely to be the most economic. The purchase of special-purpose automation equipment (high-speed automatic assembly) would almost certainly provide excellent return on investment. Somewhere between these extremes is a range of annual production volumes for which robot assembly might be the best economic choice if the assembly were appropriately designed. However, changing system is not only the way to reduce the production time and cost. It is also possible to reduce time and cost significantly by using software package and designing or redesigning assembly of product appropriately. Paper below represents design optimization possibilities by DFA approach for Easygard post engineering design produced by one of the UK medium size manufacturing company.
