Document Summary

Remanufacturing: refurbishing used products by replacing worn out or defective components. Design for disassembly: design so that used products can be easily taken apart. Concurrent engineering: bringing engineering design, manufacturing engineers, marketing and purchasing staff together early in the design phase. Computer-aided design: a product design using computer graphics: increases productivity of designers, 3 to 10 times, creates a database for manufacturing information on product, provides possibility of engineering and cost analysis on proposed designs. specifications. Manufacturability: key concern for manufactured goods: ease of fabrication and /or assembly is important for cost, productivity and quality. Design for manufacturing: considering organization"s manufacturing capabilities when designing a product. Design for assembly: focuses on reducing the number of parts in a product and on assembly methods and sequence. Component commonality: multiple products or product families that have a high degree of similarity can share components.
