Introduction

Best-selling products are innovative, satisfy customer needs, are of high quality and are value for money. Under-pinning a best-selling product are ease of manufacture and assembly. Typically 53% of all manufacturing time is due to assembly while 75% of the cost of a manufactured product is determined at the design stage. It is therefore imperative to learn about the underlying principles of design for ease of assembly.

The course is designed for technical personnel in design, manufacturing, process and quality control. After the course, participants can appreciate the underlying principles and rules for manufacturing a high quality, cost-effective product.

The objective of the course is to teach the principles and techniques to design for ease of assembly.

1. To learn the basic principles of design for assembly
2. To be able to assess a design/product for ease of assembly
3. To improve on the design/product for easy of assembly
