With ever shrinking time available for developing new products and bringing them to global markets, manufacturing enterprises have been forced to continuously adopt new methods to survive. One approach is to use Design for Manufacturing/Assembly (DFM/DFA) methods where products are systematically designed and evaluated to minimize set-ups during production operations, component counts and overall product complexity. DFMA will help designers to build quality into robust design at least cost. In addition to achieving quicker product development and reducing cost of product development, DFMA also ensures that the transition from the design phase to the production phase is as smooth and rapid as possible.

Keeping this in view, IMTMA is organising an online training on Design for Manufacturing and Assembly. This training will enable organizations to develop products reducing manufacturing and assembly costs, improving quality and speeding time to market.

This Program will be conducted by Mr Manoharan,  Mr. Ganapathi K N,  Mr. Ramesh Srinivasa Rao &  Mr. Avinash Khare
