Product design improvement through Design for Assembly (DFA) methodology and Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) approach

In making decision for improving product design, Design for Assembly (DfA) methodology are widely used and the aim of DfA is to simplify and ease to assemble the product so that the cost of assembly is reduced. Besides the reduction in cost, DfA promises additional benefits in increased quality, inc...
