Tiivistelmä
The DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) approaches are increasingly crucial nowadays and companies are running to adopt these approaches due to their benefits to the company. The DFMA approaches/ orientations have been developed continuously to satisfy the needs of the fast-growing world markets.
The purpose of this thesis is to present a new order for six different DFAM orientations and illustrate the interdependency relations between these orientations. The purpose of the order is to make the industrial designers aware of the correct order of these six different orientations and illustrate to them how these different orientations impact each other, so they can know that, for instance, cost-oriented DFMA is dependent on design, material, and manufacturing-oriented DFMA.
The methodology of this thesis is a triangulation that includes a literature review, in-depth interviews with experts, a value analysis matrix, and a case study analysis. The purpose of the in-depth interviews along with the literature review is to identify the order and the interdependency relations between these orientations.
The outcomes of this thesis are a six DFMA orientations order in general and orientations order for the SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) technique. The order and interdependency relations were made based on the literature review and experts’ interviews. And the case study observations have been collected. The thesis research questions are answered, and the key findings of this thesis can be utilized by all industrial designers.
