The Design for Assembly (DFA) - index calculator computes Design for Assembly index.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose the preferred units and enter the following:
- (Nm) This is the theoretical minimum number of parts
- (tm) This is the minimum assembly time per part
- (TA) This is the estimated total assembly time (s)
Design for Assembly (DFA) Index: The calculator returns the index.
Design for Assembly Principles
- Minimal Number of Parts
- Parts with Obvious Locations or Self-locating features
- Parts with self-fastenings
- Minimal amount of reorienting components or complete body
- Smooth assembly design for retrieving, handling and inserting parts.
- Emphasis on Top-Down designs
- Standardized parts
- Modular Design
- Frame or base part for components
- Symmetry
