Description
Summary:Air Pressure Plug is a product that can be used to inflate the inflatable items using the air from the internal combustion engine, which is channeled out using this device. This product is a good design to be commercialized. However, before releasing to the market, the product has to be cheap and good quality. Therefore, to achieve this goal, design for manufacture and assembly methodologies are used to evaluate the design of the product. Specifically, DFMA, which is Boothroyd- Dewhurst based software, and TeamSET, which is based on Lucas-Hull, are used to evaluate the product. The results for both analyses are compared to look for any variation in term of parts to be eliminated and combined.
