New Product Design

 

DFMA is a technique that integrates design and manufacturing aspect of the product at the drawing board stage itself. It uses simple numerical evaluation methods to examine the ease of manufacturing and assembling the product. DFMA is applied in many automobile and ancillary companies during the product development stage to minimize the component count and design the product to suit LEAN manufacturing system. This program is intended to develop DFMA skills for Designers & Engineers to improve cost effectiveness of existing and new products. 

 

Benefits of the program:

• Reduces product components & cost.
• Reduces time to market.
• Builds team consensus & improves quality and reliability.
• Suits Lean manufacturing system.

 

Who should attend?

Chief Designers

Product Designers

Process Engineers

Quality Engineers

Manufacturing Engineers

 

Note: No prior exposure to the subject is essential

 

Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a systematic process for motivating a business to focus on its customers. It is used by cross-functional teams to identify and resolve issues involved in providing products, processes, services and strategies which more than satisfy the customers. The Cross functional teams participate in the process that consists of matrices that analyze data sets according to the objective of the QFD process. This is the process of understanding what the customer wants, how important these benefits are, and how well different providers of products that address these benefits are perceived to perform.

The understanding of the customer needs is then summarized in a product planning matrix or "House of Quality". These matrices are used to translate higher level "Whats" or needs into lower level "Hows" product requirements or technical characteristics to satisfy these needs.

When completed it resembles a house structure and is often referred to as House of Quality. The House is divided into several rooms. Typically you have customer requirements, design considerations and design alternatives in a 3 dimensional matrix to which you can assign weighted scores based on market research information collected.

 

Benefits of the program:

• Reduced Development Time
• Reduced Startup time & Cost
• Considers Potential requirements
• Documents key decisions in a form that can become a template for future improvement efforts

Who should attend?

Companies keen on making their business processes robust by taking into consideration the customer requirements.

Companies who have adopted Process quality Improvement Tools in their business.

Companies involved in product Re-engineering & Development.

Companies who are applying for TS16949:2002 Certification or are TS Certified.

 

 

The popular known DMAIC methodology is suitable for achieving breakthrough improvements where the product or process already exists. Majority of the problems in the modern industries have hatched during the design of the product/ process. In order to fill this gap Design For Six Sigma (DFSS) has evolved to achieve zero defect during the design of the product/process.

 

Training Objective

• This course aims to develop highly competent designers, scientists and R & D engineers who can develop new products debugging all possible design defects at the drawing board stage with the application of DFSS techniques.

• To develop design skills for service/ transactional process designers to develop a robust process which will be first time right.

 

SSA provides customized modules of training & consultancy services to the Indian Industries at an affordable price to combat international competition.
The contents of the Training will provide a complete insight into:

• Creating awareness about FMEA in your organization.
• Training & assisting the Engineer to improve the Quality & the Reliability of the design.
• Developing the Team with hands-on for this logical approach of assessing design & processes.
• Assisting the team to comply with the TS 16949 Standard requirements.

The Programme is Beneficial to:

• Companies who need Data Analysis for their Business processes.
• Companies who have Measurement systems to monitor & control their processes.
• Companies who have adopted Process Quality Improvement Tools in their Business.

 

DOE essentially is a statistical analysis tool to find the mathematical relationship connecting the cause and effect, which in turn helps to optimized the process parameters.

Although DOE was initially applied for solving Engineering problems, it is equally powerful for designing a service process or  to develop the new products with zero defects.In this program, you will have a hands-on experience applying DOE using Minitab software.For the people from Service industry, we will demonstrate how DOE can be applied using process simulation techniques with the help of iGrafx software.

 

 Course Objective:

• To understand the concept of DOE and its application for Engineering and service processes.
• To have hands-on experience in Minitab for solving an engineering problem.
• To have hands-on experience in iGrafx software for solving problems in  a service process.
