Design for Cost 210
Design for Cost 210 introduces the Design for Cost methodology and its application to manufacturing processes. Design for Cost and other Design for X methods are systematic approaches to product and process design that focus on developing products at the lowest cost and highest quality. Design for Cost simplifies and standardizes manufacturing processes so products reach the market more efficiently.
A primary advantage of Design for Cost is that designs are developed early and account for the total cost of a product. Total cost is the entire cost of a product, including reported and overhead costs, and the cost of all actions associated with product development. This approach avoids harmful cost-cutting that weakens quality and introduces further problems, while also avoiding future redesigns and quality issues. After taking this class, users will understand the methodologies of Design for Cost and the development processes and benefits of cost reduction.
