Manufacturing for Design: A Conceptual Overview
Efforts aimed at improving “production readiness” seek to ensure that the transition from design to production is as smooth as possible and that adequate planning has taken place to allow for efficient and productive operation. A key component of this process is encouraging a “Design for Manufacturing” approach in which design engineers constrain their designs with general and specific manufacturability limitations in mind. This approach can reduce the design/redesign cycle, improving efficiency.
