AB  -        Promoting the Importance of Product Design in Improving Process                    Productivity, Quality and Profitability                                Division: Manufacturing Division                 Mr. Mark Angolia, Ph. D. Student, Indiana State University, IN.                 Merwan Mehta, Ph. D. Advisor, East Carolina University, NC.AbstractIt is estimated that around 70% of the cost of a manufactured product is locked in at the productdesign stage, and around 80% of chronic quality problems in manufacturing can be traced toissues in product design. Hence, the importance of product design on efficient manufacturing andhigh quality products cannot be overstated.Manufacturers in the US have a tendency to compartmentalize its product design and processimprovement teams, which hinders the generation of synergies between the two groups that cansubstantially improve their overall profitability. Also, manufacturing engineering andmanufacturing engineering technology programs at universities teach these as independent andmutually exclusive concepts, which hamper students’ ability to use product design as a strategictool to realize quantum improvements in processes and productivity.Overview of Paper and PresentationIn this paper and session, what best practices in product design should be pursued bymanufacturing companies to have substantial reductions in resource requirements, andimprovement of quality through the control of variation will be discussed. Tools like design formanufacturing, design for assembly and design for quality will be demonstrated with case studiesto highlight what effect these can have on products and processes. The authors will articulatetheir concept titled “design for profitability” that brings all of these principles under one title.How design for profitability is presently woven into programs at East Carolina University will bediscussed. A future path for introduction of this concept in manufacturing engineering,manufacturing engineering technology and manufacturing technology based curricula also beshown.2013 ASEE Annual Conference
