Design for Excellence Foundation at TT Electronics
WRITTEN BY : HELEN ADAMS
Sanjeev Katiyar , Senior Engineering Manager at TT Electronics , explores manufacturing success with a Design for Excellence Foundation A good product is more than its design . It ’ s the end-to-end process , including manufacturing , that brings a solid design to market . In the quest for better manufacturing processes – a goal common among producers of engineered systems – Design for Excellence , more commonly known as DFx , is a widely established framework of methods , guidelines and standards for creating better-quality products .
“ Ideally , this framework is applied at the concept design phase , enhancing development as early as possible to produce higher quality products , reduce cost and shorten development cycles ,” says Sanjeev Katiyar , the Senior Engineering Manager at TT Electronics . “ Larger corporate entities expect DFx as a fundamental service from their Contract Electronics Manufacturer ( CEM ), yet smaller designers may be less aware of its import .”
