In today’s market characterized by increasingly shorter life-cycles and high degree of cost-competitiveness, engineering organization are looking for ways to optimize designs, reduce design changes and eliminate manufacturing and assembly errors downstream. Late detection of manufacturability issues in new product design can result in significant waste in rework and high cost in tooling and scrap.

Unfortunately, many organizations have neither the resources nor the time to capture downstream requirements early, thereby limiting the design engineer’s capability to get their designs right the first time which can reduce significant rework and cost overruns. This situation becomes increasingly burdensome when design changes due to cost or weight reduction initiatives occur late in the design cycle.

Join the webinar to understand how Industry leading organizations like Motorola, Whirlpool, Toshiba and Jabil Circuits avoided critical design mistakes by implementing methods and tools that allowed design engineers to identify and correct these errors early enough in the design cycle. These companies have successfully deployed the practices to effectively capture and disseminate downstream design knowledge early in the cycle, thereby saving millions of dollars by avoiding expensive and time consuming engineering change orders, rework and scrap.

During the webinar industry veteran Joe Barkai will discuss methods and tools employed by leading manufacturers to optimize product design and improve manufacturability and quality, while giving insights into following tangible benefits that they have realized.
• 10-20% reduction in design rework
• 10-12% improvements in throughput
• 3-6% reduction in product costs
