E M 590  Design for Manufacturability

Fall 2003 Instructor:  Dr. Ray Ladd

Wednesdays 4:15-5:30

INTRODUCTORY VIDEO

COURSE QUESTION

How do we systematically design a product and/or process so that it can be realized with lowest cost, rapid response time, and meet customers’ expectations?

COURSE GOAL

Students will be able to: design a product and/or process systematically, that will be realized with lowest cost, rapid response time, and meet customers’ expectations.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Various techniques to identify opportunities for improvement and development of a comprehensive product design will be explored.  Key issues and competitive product development and design optimization will include topics such as: quality function deployment, design for assembly and product variation; failure modes and effects analysis; reliability/serviceability, concurrent engineering; statistical process control, six sigma process and flexible process selection; tolerances design; rapid prototying; design and development management issues; reducing parts cost with DFM AND DFM team building.

SUBMITTAL OF MATERIAL

All Material completed up through the midterm will be handed in at the midterm for review and comments.  All finished material for the entire class, including midterm, will be submitted at the end of class for grading. 

INCOMPLETE POLICY

Students must let the professor know that an Incomplete grade will be needed and the reason for the Incomplete.  Incompletes will only be considered if all materials through the midterm are totally completed and submitted at the end of the course.  Incompletes must be cleared by the end of the next semester.  If Incompletes are not completed by the end of the next semester, student must retake the class to have the grade change submitted.
