This book is intended to introduce and familiarize design,
production, quality, and process engineers, and their managers to
the importance and recent developments in concurrent engineering
(CE) and design for manufacturing (DFM) of new products. CE and DFM
are becoming an important element of global competitiveness in
terms of achieving high-quality and low-cost products. The new
product design and development life cycle has become the focus of
many manufacturing companies as a road map to shortening new
product introduction cycles, and to achieving a quick ramp-up of
production volumes. Customer expectations have increased in
demanding high-quality, functional, and user-friendly products.
There is little time to waste in solving manufacturing problems or
in redesigning products for ease of manufacture, since product life
cycles have become very short because of technological
breakthroughs or competitive pressures. Another important reason
for the increased attention to DFM is that global products have
developed into very opposing roles: either they are commodities,
with very similar features, capabilities, and specifications; or
they are very focused on a market niche. In the first case, the
manufacturers are competing on cost and quality, and in the second
they are in race for time to market. DFM could be a very important
competitive weapon in either case, for lowering cost and increasing
quality; and for increasing production ramp-up to mature volumes.
Six Sigma is a customer-based manufacturing approach to realizing fewer defects and thus lowering costs and increasing customer satisfaction.
This is a rigorous engineering book detailing the gritty, statistical work involved in making the Six Sigma process work in the electronics industry.
