Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Electronics

August Electronics > Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Electronics

Custom Electronic Design For Manufacturing & Assembly

As your strategic partner through your product development cycle, we start by assisting our clients in developing the optimal design for manufacturing (DFM). This includes design for assembly (DFA), design for inspection (DFI), design for costing (DFC), and design for testing (DFT) feedback. This enables the most cost-efficient assembly of your innovation, a shorter delivery timeline where possible, and stronger quality assurance. We generate customized reports that verify your Bill of Materials against our review. This critical step encapsulates valuable savings early in the product development process.

Design for manufacturing becomes increasingly important for medium–to high-volume production and low-volume environments, where it helps to reduce non-recurring engineering (NRE).

Our DFM guidelines aim to help you optimize your designs for a part, assembly, process, or product to be more cost-effective, to be of better quality, and to meet production timelines.

Design for manufacturing assumes greater importance in a global marketplace where cost, quality and speed to market are key success factors for a product.

We seek to identify and rectify inefficiencies to streamline the process and minimize the amount of manual labor required, reducing manufacturing costs.

We apply this approach across all your manufacturing needs, from surface mount or through-hole PCB assemblies, box build assemblies, cable harness assemblies, and electromechanical builds to large-scale industrial equipment.

Any New Product Introduction (NPI) program’s success relies on strategically selecting all components, component placements, materials, and suppliers to achieve the optimal production process for your product.

With our expertise in design for manufacturing across the electronic, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and electromechanical areas, we can advise and support you at this critical product development stage. This is important to ensure the viability of your products throughout their lifecycle in the marketplace and reduce manufacturing costs.

Design For Manufacturing Electronics Value-Added Benefits

Our customized DFM analysis report ensures we capture potential cost overruns, duplication of components, or unnecessary production time caused by errors. We mitigate the risk up front to provide the most efficient package possible.

Measurable advantages of our DFM report:

Optimization of your design improves component placement and allows greater automation
Based on our global network and range of inventory options

With August Electronics as your contract manufacturing partner, you benefit from several other advantages such as:

Our strong operating procedures ensure a shorter manufacturing time for your product.
We continuously review our processes to reduce possible errors and enhance our efficient manufacturing capabilities and supplier conformance.
We improve your bottom line with increased product quality and reliability.
Our quality control and testing programs aim to mitigate downtime, maintenance, and manufacturing issues.
