Tiivistelmä
The objective of this research was to develop the DFMA process for mechanics engineers and to link it into the product development (PD) process of the Sasken Finland Oy. To develop guidelines, checklist, etc. tools for mechanics engineers to help them in their design work, documentation and reporting. One of the big objectives was to create the DFMA process required by one of the main customers.
This research addresses on DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFA (Design for Assembly) engineering theories and implementing these theories in practice. DFM takes into consideration possibilities and limits of certain manufacturing processes and aims at designing parts which are easy to fabricate and produce. DFA takes into consideration possibilities and limits of assembly processes and aims at designing assemblies or products that are easy to assemble and produce.
This research was done and the future development will be done at the Sasken Finland site. The research was done in a group of seven mechanics engineers. The research method was the so called Action Method.
As a result of this research DFMA process for mechanics, design guidelines, design checklists and DFMA analyze template will be taken into use at least at the Beijing and Bangalore sites.
The DFMA process and documentation will be yearly updated and developed under the Sasken Finland Research and Capability management.
