Design Smarter. Build Faster. Spend Less.

DFMA is a fundamental business process for the Dell engineering team because it supports our holistic approach to cost. It helps us analyze our designs and make decisions that lower overall costs, not just product costs.

At the core of our program is the understanding that real savings come from helping suppliers reduce the cost of materials and improve the manufacturability of their designs. The software accurately models part costs, providing a quantitative basis for evaluating competing design alternatives.

The software's new reporting features have improved our capacity to quickly present outcomes to key stakeholders. This latest version continues the company's leadership in product simplification and cost estimating.

Used Boothroyd Dewhurst software to help negotiate contracts for Medical Company. Found the DFMA team to be a great asset to work with. There were many unique tools that needed to be modeled and B&D provided the knowledge.

We recently adopted DFMA, and it has greatly enhanced our negotiation processes. Its data-driven approach provides clear insights into cost structures and benchmarks specifically for plastics and mechanical parts, enabling our teams to make informed, strategic decisions.

We engaged Boothroyd Dewhurst to train our team in the philosophy and tools of DFMA. We have been very pleased with the people, process and results achieved. They are a first-class organization and are great to work with.

We use this DFMA software in the early stages of product design, mostly at the concept phase, in order to make the best selections possible early on. It's a potent tool for encouraging collaborative and inventive product design.

The tool's intuitive interface has helped us identify savings opportunities and build strong, evidence-based cases during negotiations which also helps build transparency in our relationships with strategic suppliers.
