Product Description
by Henry W. Stoll (Author)
Design for manufacture (DFM) is a design discipline that strives to create designs that are easy to manufacture, assemble, and support. In Design for Manufacture: Principles and Practices, author Henry W. Stoll draws on more than thirty-five years of academic and industry experience to present a holistic and systematic DFM approach in which fundamental principles of good design are applied to all aspects of the manufacturing system and at all levels and stages of the design-manufacturing process. With this approach, DFM becomes a powerful design philosophy that can transform the way the design-manufacturing process is appreciated and performed. Design for Manufacture: Principles and Practices is intended for a diverse audience, including business and engineering students, practicing design and manufacturing professionals, and all levels of management ranging from the company CEO on down. It is ideal for use in business school courses on product development, and for undergraduate and graduate engineering courses in design and manufacturing. Engineering professionals will find a new way for comprehensively understanding and applying DFM. Management will find a valuable resource for quickly coming up to speed in this important subject.
