The document provides best practices for manufacturers to get a new product designed and manufactured. It discusses the importance of design for manufacturability (DFM) in reducing costs, as design decisions can account for 50% of total product costs. DFM principles include starting with the intended manufacturing process, reducing the number of parts, using standard materials, loose tolerances, and mistake-proof assembly. The document also recommends getting input from potential manufacturers early, building supply chain relationships, and outlines local resources for product development support.

Architects and engineers commonly complain about how their profession has become increasingly commoditized, but
do little to try to reverse the trend. In this workshop for the SC Engineering Conference, we explored the likely reasons for the devaluing of your services and what steps you can take to fight back.
Architects and Designers do understand the principles of design. While delving on Requirements without paying heed to the needs to identify latent needs is a challenge

Design for Business Impact - Increase Your ROI & VelocityChloë Bregman, CSPO
In this age of business, the speed and quality of a company’s execution matters more than ever before. Design has earned a seat at the executive table and in part because of this designers need the tools to articulate their business impact. It’s important to design in such a way that realistically looks at the potential impact (ROI) and creates consistent design velocity for a company. It’s important that we set certain expectations when setting up a company to increase our chances of success.
In this talk, Chloë will teach you how to optimize the design process to rapidly ship products. We will explore what ROI and design velocity are then look at how a growth mindset and power of not knowing are the key to acceleration. Based on this key we will discuss the culture, team structure, processes, technology and tools that empower us to generate business impact. We all want to be more effective at our jobs. You will come away with a framework to help you design as an individual, team leader or organization.
Who is this talk for:
Designers who want to understand how they can think about design to achieve their goals faster in a more powerful way as well as articulate the value of and advocate for what they are working on to people outside of the design team.
Design managers, executives and senior level designs interested in manifesting team environments that create high quality design work while maximizing the impact of design on the business.
Startup founders who want to incorporate design thinking into their organization in a way that catalyzes the realization of business goals across all areas of the organization.

5. LET’S TALK ABOUT
Voice of the Customer
Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
Building your Supply Chain
Resources to get started
Q&A
7. WHY DFM MATTERS…
“70% of Manufacturing Costs are derived
from Design decisions”
https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/shc17/DesignI/Dieter&Schmidt_Ch16_scan.pdf
Of TOTAL COGS (Cost of Goods Sold)… ~72% are Manufacturing Costs
0.72 x 0.70 = 0.50
50% of your TOTAL COSTS are LOCKED at Transfer to Manufacturing
8. DFM: Cost of a Design Change

9. DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURABILITY (DFM)
Definition:
Proactively designing products to optimize manufacturing ease and cost given
form, fit, and function requirements.
Goal: Reduce Material, Labor, and Overhead Costs
DFM Optimizes: Procurement, Fab, Assembly, Test, Shipping, Service, & Repair
DFM assures:
Time to Market
Cost
Quality
Reliability
Customer Satisfaction
10. VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER – We could, But should we?
11. VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER
Sometimes, as innovators, we
can…fall in love
It can do this, this, & this! Does the
customer care?
Why get Voice of the Customer?
Problem Validation is key
Prioritizes your Product Development
activities
It makes your product Sticky, drives
customer loyalty
The easiest way to avoid R&D cost:
DON’T DEVELOP IT!
Lean Canvas – the first step
12. DFM: Is Everyone’s Job
Cross Functional: Marketing, Sales, Engineering, Quality, Suppliers
EX: What Marketing hears as PAIN POINT Engineering may see as OBSTACLE
This includes your (potential) Manufacturer
13. DFM: Principles Overview
Start with the end in mind (manufacturing method)
Reduce Total # of Parts
Use Standard Materials & Components
Loose dimensional tolerances
Minimize Handling & Assembly Direction
Mistake Proof Assembly
COMPLEXITY = TIME, TIME = MONEY
14. DFM: Principles
Start with the end in mind:
CNC Machining
Injection Molding
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Laser Jet / Water Jet Cutting
Casting
Collaborate with manufacturer
MOTIVATION: Increase supply chain options
15. DFM: Principles
Reduce Total # of Parts, Part Types
MOTIVATION: Reduce procurement cost, labor, defects
Complexity = Time, Time = Money
16. DFM: Principles
Use Standard Materials & Components, when possible
MOTIVATION: Lower Cost, Reduce Complexity of Supply Chain
21. BUILDING YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN
Get Strategic w/ Manufacturing Partners
(Some) Contract Manufacturers will help with DFM & Prototyping
Build the relationship
Seek DFM Input early
Prototype / Pilot Run / Production Rate
Method of manufacture (can) change. Plan for this. Ideally, find a partner that can do all.
Volume Cures a lot of concerns
Increased interest from manufacturing partners
Costs closely linked with volume
Amortize NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) costs over Time & Volume
22. QUOTE FROM LOCAL CONTRACT MANUFACTURER
“Approach us an have an OPEN and HONEST conversation about your Product Maturity,
Market Positioning, Funding, and Commercialization Path”
“We know it is very hard to predict future volume, and that often things fall through”
“There are 2 ways you can approach it”
1) Cash for the NRE Costs.(Non-Recurring Engineering)
2) Treat us like an Investor. We want to understand your business and the ROI of our
investment in Engineering and Design work.
