MANUFACTURABILITY AND VALUE ENGINEERING
Design for manufacturability and value engineering may produce other benefits. These includes:
- Reduced complexity of the product
- Reduction of environmental impact
- Additional standardization of components
- Improvement of functional aspects of the product.
- Improved job design and job safety
- Improved maintainability of the product
- Robust design
means that the product is designed so that small variations in production or assembly do not adversely affect the product.
Robust Design
this product design is in easily segmented components, in which parts or components of a product are subdivided into modules that are easily interchanged or replaced.
Modular Design
