The benefit begins at the bottom line
The benefits of DFMA start at the design stage and follow through sales, service and support. When products have fewer parts, companies can save labor, inventory and supplier costs. They can also reduce their need for documentation and administration.Often the indirect cost savings are most significant than the direct savings in material and assembly. Many users have found that DFMA software makes products so simple and manufacturable that investment in expensive and sophisticated automated manufacturing and assembly equipment is no longer necessary.
