Using DFMA to Rethink Your China
Manufacturing Strategy
The lure of extremely low labor rates entices many companies to move
manufacturing and assembly offshore. These companies seem very
interested in reducing manufacturing costs, but they rarely take the
time to understand all of the very real costs in this strategy. Is
sending a product design overseas for manufacture really the best
option after all the costs are tallied? What if you could
manufacture a similar product design locally, and yet have savings
equal to what you believe you will achieve through sourcing to a
distant cheap labor market? This presentation will try to answer
this question by showing you how DFMA can be used throughout the
product development cycle to understand costs as critical design and
manufacturing decisions are being made.
