ABOUT THE COURSE

Learn the key principles of engineering design that could aid product design, process design, facility design, enterprise design and supply-chain design. A business needs to design with efficient allocation of resources to add customer value and promote sustainability. The product must be safe to people and the planet and economically viable in its production and delivery to the marketplace. Today’s globally competitive environment means that businesses cannot afford to make mistakes that delay release to market. We must design it right the first time.

Participants will be engaged in the following topics:

  • The evolution of design to Concurrent Engineering (CE)
  • Capturing the “Voice of the Customer” (VOC) and use of the Kano Model
  • Determining product specification

Describing the range of manufacturing strategies:

  • ETO – engineer-to-order
  • MTO- make-to-order
  • ATO – assemble-to-order
  • MTS – make-to-stock
  • Identifying material acquisition cost, total landed cost (TLC) and total cost of ownership (TCO)
  • Make v. Buy and off-shoring considerations
  • Product Life Cycle (PLC) and engineering revision considerations
  • Logistical considerations and the “DFx’s”:
  • DFM – design for manufacturability
  • DFA – design for assembly
  • DFQ – design for quality
  • DFS – design for safety
  • DFP – design for procurement
  • DFW – design for warehousing
  • DFT – design for transport
  • DFRL – design for reverse logistics
  • Additional tips, tools and techniques for engineering design

A comprehensive team exercise will include the following elements:

  • Inventing/designing a new product (good or service) with the relevant value-added features
  • Describing the processes and facility layout to support operations
  • Describing the supply chain to support logistics design

The facilitator will provide value-added opportunities through a combination of slideshow presentation, roundtable discussion, individual and team-based hands-on exercises, and an interactive Q&A summary.
