This document summarizes a technical paper about design for manufacture (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) tools. It discusses how DFM and DFA principles were developed to improve manufacturability and reduce costs. Software tools that integrate DFM and DFA analysis are presented, including the Boothroyd-Dewhurst software. The paper concludes by examining decision models for selecting DFM/DFA software based on required functions, supported processes, interfaces, and operating systems.
