The document discusses the "Tao of Design for Manufacturability" (DFM) methodology for upgrading product designs. It lists 10 "commandments" or criteria of Tao of DFM that include designing for best cost, quality, reliability, compliance, safety, time-to-market, function/style, and customer satisfaction. It also outlines 8 systems for best procurement, manufacture, assembly, testing, packing/shipping, supply/delivery, service/maintenance, and repair. The methodology can be applied to seamlessly upgrade designs and integrate manufacturability elements, resulting in re-engineered designs that comply with DFM.

2. The 64 modules under TDFM analysis have to be done for such of the
Ten Commandments under TDFM. The ConcurrentEngineering Team will follow
‘Taoist Directions ‘ of 1280 broad categories and come outwith mostReliable
Design Solutions for the Design keeping in mind of providing better Quality, Cost&
Delivery –QCD for a full fledged TDFM Compliance .
This methodology to Upgrade of Designs can be seamlessly inte-
grated with any system of Design & Manufacture & can be
adopted in any size enterprise .It deals with all the Processes of
Manufacturing and Synergize the Upgraded Design with Manu-
facturability element by element resulting in Re-engineering
the selected design which will comply with TDFM .
Innovation is the by-product while Implementing TDFM
through this Methodology .
It is a simple but comprehensive listing /creation of an
Operation Process Sheet covering each and every process of the
Product /Assembly which covers all cost centres in the project .
School of TDFM strives its best to move DFM from a
mere notion to reality by synergizing with clients’
energies & can also extend for Co-creations of
Innovative Products by a thorough re-engineering of
its processes and help upgrade its designs in fine tune
with the current /appropriate technology and market.
External Consultant will help to form a Concurrent
Engineering Team to take care of all the Eight Criteria
w.r.t all the Eight Systems as per TDFM to usher in a
viable DFM through Simple Tools and by blending of
Analytic Minds with Creative Minds of Domain
Experts who will ultimately Team up together to
Upgrade the Designs .

TAO OF DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURABILITY
Tao of DFM’ is the pragmatic method to adopt to bring
in DFM by integrating each and every Manufacturing
process in Design in the pursuit of excellence in
Innovation .It is the viable methodology to move DFM
from a mere notion to reality in Developing Engineering
Products /Assemblies .These Integration exercises have to
be done for at least most common Rules/Guidelines
listed in Taoist Directions for Design & Development
www.dfmhandbook.com
The First Level will be to meet the Ten Command-
ments of Tao of DFM ( TDFM) –listed as under .
