Design For Manufacturability Becomes A Reality

Design for manufacturability is a decades-old concept that continues to resonate with current manufacturing challenges. Although companies largely recognize the benefits of DFM decision-making, most face a formidable challenge in putting it into practice. Through mastery of three cross-functional disciplines — collaboration, coordination, and analysis — leading manufacturers are making headway towards their DFM goals. How can PLM vendors help? By further integrating complex product design details with the exact processes and resources required to build them — a nut that leading vendors like Dassault Systemes and UGS are working hard to crack.
