Our Value Engineering Audit offers a systematic and organized approach to identify cost-saving opportunities without sacrificing essential functions.

How It Works

Value engineering focuses on enhancing the value of your project by maximising functionality while minimising costs. Our Value Engineering Audit follows a structured approach using proven Value Analysis and Value Engineering (VAVE) techniques.

Functional Analysis

Value engineering focuses on enhancing the value of your project by maximising functionality while minimising costs. Our Value Engineering Audit follows a structured approach using proven Value Analysis and Value Engineering (VAVE) techniques.

FAST (Function Analysis System Technique)

Using the FAST method, we map out the interconnections between various functions of the product. This visual representation highlights dependencies and relationships, helping to reveal opportunities to optimize costs and enhance functionality.

Cost-Worth Analysis

We evaluate the cost of each component or function against its value to the end customer. This analysis uncovers areas that are over-engineered or underperforming, allowing us to focus improvements where they matter most.

Collaborative Brainstorming

Our team conducts focused brainstorming sessions to generate innovative ideas for improving the product’s value. This collaborative approach brings fresh perspectives and creative solutions to the table, enhancing both cost-efficiency and functionality.

Environmental Analysis

Our team conducts focused brainstorming sessions to generate innovative ideas for improving the product’s value. This collaborative approach brings fresh perspectives and creative solutions to the table, enhancing both cost-efficiency and functionality.

Process Mapping

The entire development or manufacturing process is mapped to locate bottlenecks or inefficiencies. By streamlining the workflow, we can improve productivity and ensure that value-enhancing changes are efficiently implemented.

What to expect within 1 week

Kickoff

We begin by gathering all relevant data from your team, including CAD files, product specifications, and any available documentation on current processes.

Initial Assessment

Review your product’s components, functions, and costs. Using Functional Analysis, FAST mapping, and environmental assessment, we establish a baseline understanding of current value, performance, and areas with room for improvement.

Collaborative Ideation & Analysis

We engage in focused brainstorming sessions with your team, diving into cost-worth comparisons and process mapping to identify potential cost-saving and value-enhancing opportunities.

Recommendations & Roadmap

We compile our findings into a detailed report with clear, actionable recommendations. This includes outlining key steps for implementing enhancements, as well as the anticipated impact on cost, functionality, and sustainability.

Presentation of Findings

We conclude with a presentation to walk you through the audit’s insights, giving your team a deep understanding of our recommendations and the strategies to move forward confidently.

Frequently Asked Question

Who is this service for?
This service is designed for manufacturers and product teams looking to optimize their product designs for manufacturing and assembly. Our clients include businesses in sectors such as Automotive, Aerospace, Consumer Electronics, Industrial Equipment, and Medical Devices.
How a DFMA Audit Works?
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) is an engineering methodology focused on simplifying the design of a product to improve ease of manufacture and efficiency of assembly. DFMA combines the principles of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) to reduce overall manufacturing time and costs.   Key Areas Covered in Our DFMA Audit:
  • Design Simplification: Simplify the design for manufacturing and assembly while retaining Industrial Design Intent.
  • Material Selection: Select raw materials that balance performance and cost requirements while maintaining regulatory compliance.
  • Manufacturing Processes: Selecting appropriate manufacturing processes to optimize for costs.
  • Assembly Efficiency: Minimizing part and assembly step count to reduce assembly time and boost productivity.
  • Standardization: Using standard parts or components to lower costs and improve inventory management.
Why do I need a DFMA Audit?

A DFMA Audit is essential for simplifying your product designs and improving overall manufacturing efficiency. Key benefits include:

  • Cost Reduction: Identify opportunities to lower manufacturing and assembly costs through optimized designs.
  • Improved Efficiency: Streamline production processes by reducing the complexity of components and assembly steps.
  • Quality Enhancement: Minimize variability in build quality by focusing on design principles that promote consistency.
  • Faster Time-to-Market: Reduce manufacturing time by employing design strategies that facilitate quicker production.
  • Material Optimization: Make informed decisions on materials that can enhance product performance while keeping costs in check.
What does a DFMA Audit include?

The DFMA Audit consists of:

    • Design Assessment: A thorough evaluation of current product designs to identify areas for improvement.
    • Process Analysis: Reviewing manufacturing and assembly processes to pinpoint inefficiencies and bottlenecks.
    • Recommendations Report: A detailed report with actionable insights and strategies to optimize product designs for manufacturing and assembly.
    • Implementation Guidance: Support for applying the recommended changes to your product designs and processes.
Can this work for any type of product?

Yes, our DFMA Audit can be applied to a wide range of products across various industries. It is particularly beneficial for products with complex assembly processes or multiple components.

What information or materials do I need to provide?
To conduct an effective audit, please provide access to your product designs, engineering documentation, and information about your manufacturing and assembly processes.
We’re new to product design and have limited experience. How can this service help us?
Our experienced team will guide you through the DFMA audit process, providing valuable insights and recommendations tailored to your specific needs, helping you establish best practices for effective design and manufacturing.
How do you assess designs for manufacturability and assembly?
We use a combination of design reviews, process evaluations, and industry benchmarks to assess your product designs, ensuring that our recommendations are grounded in best practices and proven methodologies.
Can I customize the audit to focus on specific design aspects?
Yes, the audit can be tailored to focus on specific design elements or processes based on your goals and manufacturing challenges.
What happens after the audit?
After the audit, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing our findings and recommendations. We also offer ongoing support to help you implement the suggested improvements if needed.
How do you have a fixed price for this service?
Our extensive experience and established processes allow us to conduct DFMA audits efficiently, enabling us to offer this service at a fixed price while maintaining high quality.
