Boothroyd Dewhurst to Host DFMA Forum

Boothroyd Dewhurst will host its annual International Forum on Design for Manufacture and Assembly on June 7 to 8 in Providence, RI. This year’s theme is “DFMA Design Decision: Understanding Total Product Cost.”

Presenters and attendees will be able to discuss how making design decisions early in development can have an impact on total product cost. Additionally, the benefits of improved reliability time-to-market that come with DFMA will be addressed by various speakers, a press release states. The conference will have presenters from Boeing, Medtronic, Kohler, Dynisco and more.

“Manufacturers today are striving to tighten their supply chains and move closer to key markets,” said John Gilligan, president of Boothroyd Dewhurst, Inc. “They are also taking a hard look at whether or not their product designs help them downstream with demand fulfillment and throughput. The right designs should reach customers quickly with the high quality and performance characteristics they need. The DFMA Forum is where people learn about what tools and strategies succeed in meeting these goals and in optimizing total product cost.”
