Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) consists of two main
components which are Design for Assembly (DFA) and Design for
Manufacture (DFM). DFMA is an important methodology to review the
design for product evaluation. It is very significant in reducing number of
parts to be assembled in a product. This can contribute to the reduction of
manufacture cost of part, assembly time and material. Therefore to reduce
the product cost, DFMA-Lucas Hull methodology is applied by selecting a
consumer product which is water nozzle as product case study. The
Teamset-Lucas Hull base software is used to evaluate the product. The
original design is reviewed; improved and redesigned effort is performed
for the product evaluation. The significant result shows the new design of
water nozzle is achievable with fewer parts from thirteen (13) to eight (8)
parts. Then it will be effected the product cost to be reduced from RM48.26
to RM20.76. This method also eligible to be applied to manufacturing
industries in order to improve their design effectiveness.
