Working Together to Develop Cost-Effective Products

Lodging

Conference objectivesThe goal of the 2009 International Forum on DFMA is to provide expert opinion on DFMA and inform attendees about new and pertinent trends in product development. Manufacturing and research leaders will be on hand to answer your questions on such topics as:

Cost management and reduction Improving quality/Six Sigma Lean manufacturing and cost accounting Product lifecycle management Outsourcing/offshoring economics Shrinking time-to-market Product design and manufacturing strategies Team building and productivity management Concurrent engineering and supply-chain collaboration Design for disposal and recycling

This conference will present you with many examples of how industry leaders use DFMA fundamentals to reach their product development and business goals. Consider the experiences and evidence they have to share, and judge for yourself how DFMA methodology might serve as a pathway to innovation and profitability in your own organization.

Conference special EventsNetworking ReceptionTuesday evening, June 9, 2009

Please join us and other attendees for a networking reception. This is a great opportunity to meet people with similar goals and challenges in a casual, social setting and to learn more about DFMA, cost management, successful supplier collaboration, and complementary PLM technologies.

Panel DiscussionWednesday, June 10, 2009 “Reviving U.S. Manufacturing: How to make it happen”

Everyone is familiar with the decline of U.S. manufacturing as a percentage of domestic economic activity. The current national crisis is raising a debate about where the U.S. should invest in its future: education, energy, finance and healthcare are all vitally important sectors. But what role can U.S. manufacturing play in the national recovery? And just as importantly, what role can DFMA teams play in reviving U.S. manufacturing through their individual efforts and example? The panel discussion will explore this question and provide insights into how U.S. manufacturing can stage a revival.

Free DFMA Software DemonstrationWednesday, June 10, 2009

Join us for an hour-long demonstration of DFMA, where you’ll hear inside tips on getting the most from Design for Assembly, DFM Concurrent Costing and Design for Environment software. Meet the team at Boothroyd Dewhurst, Inc., and ask about how this technology fits your product development needs.

Who should attend?The DFMA Forum is a valuable resource for everyone involved in the design-to-manufacturing process and technology management.

◘ Managers, Strategists, and Financial Decision makers in product development, design, and manufacturing companies of all sizes

◘ Design Engineers

◘ Manufacturing Engineers

◘ Purchasing Personnel

◘ Supply-Chain Managers

Can American manufacturing regain the leading role it played in world markets from the 1960s to the 1990s? Will the synergy of our unique brand of individualism and teamwork create a new American era of innovation and productivity? The revival of the domestic U.S. manufacturing base can start one company at a time, one management blueprint at a time for lean, labor-efficient product designs orchestrated from concept through production to blend performance, quality and simplicity.

Increasingly, experts from engineering to logistics to purchasing are recognizing that product design strategy is what holds the answers to our competitive success here or abroad. Design is where the advantage of low foreign labor rates is neutralized; design is where product simplification and process breakthroughs meet to yield innovations that drive markets; design is where cost efficiencies that sweep into every aspect of a manufacturing organization are captured—from savings in warranty and service, throughput and factory floor space, to supply-chain management and administration expenses.

Last year, speakers at the 2008 DFMA Forum described how their companies used Design for Manufacture and Assembly to create profits and win markets. Experts also laid out how PLM, additive manufacturing, and lean accounting tools could provide advantages in building powerful manufacturing organizations for the future. At this year’s Forum, DFMA practitioners and other industry thinkers will share with you their insights and recent successes. You’ll learn proven methods to compete anywhere in the world and structure your company to lead from napkin-sketch idea to product end-of-life. Please join us at the twenty-fourth annual DFMA Forum!

The 2009 InTernaTIonal Forum on Design for manufacture and assembly

Manufacturing revival t h r o u g h B e t t e r D e s i g n

Twenty-Four Years of DFMA ExperienceThe twenty-fourth annual International Forum on DFMA is the foremost conference worldwide on early design analysis methodologies and implementation. It is the one conference to attend if you wish to gain an understanding of the impact Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA®) has on product development and beyond. Listening first-hand to papers presented by expert practitioners from around the world, you will see close up the successful DFMA strategies employed by many different companies across many different industries. You’ll gain insight into the product development approaches followed by some of today’s most important manufacturers.

Speakers for the 2009 International Forum on DFMA include a number of advanced manufacturing and software companies, such as Whirlpool Corp., Dassault Systèmes, Motorola, Inc. and Hypertherm. Conference papers discuss specific product development strategies and tactics, challenges faced, how costs were reduced and innovation achieved. Learn what technologies are ready to be used−from DFMA to highly advanced visualization and simulation programs. Whether your job is mechanical design, manufacturing engineering, purchasing and supply-chain management, CAD modeling, prototyping and tooling, engineering management, or motivating teams, you will come away with valuable approaches for overcoming barriers to technology implementation and solving multidisciplinary design challenges. Among the topics offered are papers on streamlining the transition from design to manufacturing in CAD; creating a web-based, interactive 3D approach for assembly work instructions; deploying new Design for Environment compliance technologies; and using DFMA to boost American manufacturing.
