ENGINEERING TOOLS & METHODS
• Reduce your company’s production costs by analyzing and eliminating the factors that greatly affect the time, cost, and quality of manufacturing, assembly and service processes • Utilize effective analysis, brainstorming, and trade-off techniques for redesigning assemblies and subassemblies Who Should Attend Product designers, product engineers, or manufacturing engineers will benefit by attending this seminar. Individuals involved in a new or ongoing product development process will also benefit by learning how to help synchronize and optimize fabrication and assembly activities. This course is most effective when attended by product development team members; however, this is not a requirement for attendance. NOTE: You are strongly encouraged to bring a sample or drawing of one of your own designs to analyze during the workshop on Day Two. You are also asked to bring a calculator capable of making simple calculations. Prerequisites An engineering undergraduate degree in any discipline would be beneficial.

Products and processes can be designed to function with less variation and with less sensitivity to environmental factors or customer usage. While still maintaining high quality from a customer’s viewpoint, products and processes can utilize lower cost materials and methods. Specifications can be opened-up with wider tolerances while still maintaining high quality for customers. In summary, products and processes can be designed and developed in shorter times to reduce costs and become more competitive in the marketplace from a delivery and profit standpoint.
