Design for manufacturability (V)

Summary

We have designed this course to enable you to appreciate the impact of design on all aspects of the operation of an end-to-end supply chain.

面向工程师参与在任何阶段的e process of bringing new products to the market, this course is designed to enable engineers to appreciate the impact of design on all aspects of the operation of an end-to-end supply chain, thus contributing to the sustained competitiveness of their organisation. Using case study examples, delegates will examine how design decisions can help or hinder the supply of high quality, competitive products that meet customer demand.

Upon completion, delegates will be equipped to implement practical improvements that are relevant to their own organisation to design products that are more aligned to the operational requirements of their organisation.

The course combines traditional views on design for manufacture, service and test with broader principles of lean, responsive supply chain design, together with the need to establish productive, collaborative relationships between all of the functions involved.

Delegates should attend this course if they are interested in understanding how the design decisions they make impact on later stages of the process and how they can better design with those effects in mind.
