Design for Assembly Line Performance: The Link Between DFA and Line Performance Metrics

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

While DFA has been a useful design tool, it is not explicitly linked to actual manufacturing line performance. The motivation for this research came from the desire to link DFA directly to line balance and cycle time performance. This paper will build on previous work to link DFA and manufacturing analysis methods so that the manufacturing parameters can be estimated and used to guide the design of a product. Our current work to estimate the impact that design changes could have to reduce cycle time and improve line balancing performance will be presented.
