As we switch to short cycle time - low inventory manufacturing, we need to
make sure the
design process accommodates the manufacturing needs. This is traditionally
called
Design for Assembly (DFA) or Design for Manufacturing (DFM).

Rochester Institute of Technology is offering a course in DFA/DFM based on
the
Boothroyd-Dewhurst methodology. Is this a good methodology to adopt in this
area?

If not, what would be a better one?
