Design for Assembly is a powerful tool that analyses a product for assembly difficulties. These difficulties are then addressed and designed out of the product, enabling the resulting re, design to be produced at lower cost. This practical course follows the Boothroyd & Dewhurst method, which is used by many world, class companies. As part of the course fee delegates are provided.
