DFM (DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURABILITY)
Design for Manufacturability is the engineering practice of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. The concept exists in almost all engineering disciplines, but the implementation differs widely depending on the manufacturing technology. DFM describes the process of designing or engineering a product in order to facilitate the manufacturing process in order to reduce its manufacturing costs. DFM will allow potential problems to be fixed in the design phase which is the least expensive place to address them. Other factors may affect the manufacturability such material, the form of the raw material, dimensional tolerances, and secondary processing such as finishing and machining.
DEC Industries uses this process to create the Best possible part at the BEST PRICE!
APQP (ADVANCED PRODUCT QUALITY PLANNING)
APQP serves as a guide in the development process and also a standard way to share results between suppliers and automotive companies. APQP specifies three phases: Development, Industrialization and Product Launch. Through these phases 23 main topics will be monitored. These 23 topics will be all completed before the production is started. They cover such aspects as: design robustness, design testing and specification compliance, production process design, quality inspection standards, process capability, production capacity, product packaging, product testing and operator training plan, among other items.
APQP focuses on:
APQP focuses on:
- Up-front quality planning
- Determining if customers are satisfied by evaluating the output and supporting continual improvement

PPAP (Production Part Approval Process)
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is the industry standard that ensures engineering design and product specification requirements are met. Through the PPAP guideline, suppliers and customers understand the requirements to obtain part approval of supplier manufactured parts. Applicable to all parts and commodities, application of these principles reduces delays and non-conformances during part approval.
