DFM Concurrent Costing 2.0 enables engineering organisations and their supply chains to take a multidisciplinary approach to cost assessment early in product design.
Conference participants will present papers that examine specific product development programs and the resulting cost reductions and efficiency gains at some of the world's leading manufacturing companies, including Abbott, Compaq, GE Plastics, Raytheon, and Harley-Davidson Motor Company, among others.
The 2002 International Forum on DFMA will be held 10th-12th June 2002, at the Hyatt Regency Newport Hotel, Newport, RI, USA.
Presentations by experts in product design will discuss recent DFMA applications in detail and focus on major issues in manufacturing, including implementation strategies, lean design and manufacture, automatic assembly, engineering design quality, product design metrics, theory of inventive problem solving, target costing, and cost management.
In addition to the papers, the DFMA forum will feature a panel discussion on the integration of DFMA into the overall product design development cycle.
The DFMA conference is a valuable resource for all those who are involved in the design-to-manufacturing process, including product designers, manufacturing engineers, automation specialists, and management, marketing, and purchasing personnel.
