Insight into the production aspect of the design.
This book opens the gate way to the all conventional and non-conventional production processes. The book contains 100 illustrations, which clarify processes and/or methods. Because it is impossible to describe every production process in detail, the book contains 130 links to explanatory YouTube videos. This makes it a “gateway” to manufacturing knowledge. The book also pays attention to the assemblage aspect (DFA). This is especially important for ‘OEMs’ and ‘system suppliers.’ The content of this book is based on DfM and DFA workshops and provides insight into the production aspect of the design.
Practice has shown that many participants in the design teams are not aware of the complete design process. The participants usually have a specialized task. Knowledge of the entire design process is lacking. In the book knowledge about the manufacturing process is highlighted.
Why this book?
As lead engineer and project leader I often had to explain to the team members what their role is in the design process. Also, the manufactures, the makers of the products, who were involved in the design at an early stage, had no idea of their role in the design process. Very little attention is paid to this in education and in the professional literature. Much attention is rightly given to the theory of design, however not how to put it in practice. In the book ‘Methodical design explained. Insights into the methodical design process as it is applied in companies’. I have explained the overall design process as applied in companies. In this book, the DfM aspect is only tangentially highlighted. However, given its importance, this aspect in the development process is extensively highlighted in this book.
I have written this book to share my many years of experience in this field.
Designing is fun!
