Overview:
The Design for Manufacturability (DFM) program helps companies respond to a simple fact... The opportunity to influence the cost of a new product is greatest early in its life cycle. EMPF, the National Center of Excellence in Electronics Manufacturing, provides a combination of lecture and factory experience to enable companies to set up effective DFM programs in their own facilities.

The first day of the two-day program provides students with classroom sessions and templates for use in their own facilities. Day Two provides hands-on factory experience assembling and processing a demonstration PWA (printed wire assembly) which is intended to show the benefits and consequence of compromises made at the design level.

Who Should Attend:
Program managers, design engineers, quality managers, engineering managers, and other personnel responsible for taking a design concept through inception to market.

Course Objectives:

• DFM Overview: The Who, What, Where, and When of DFM. What is DFA? DFM? Producibility? and Risk Assessment.
