Overall objectives
- Know how to carry out the "Design For Manufacturing and Assembly" process (DFM, DFA, DFMA), taking into account the products, manufacturing and assembly means of the participants, in order to improve industrial competitiveness.
Learning operational objectives
- Understand the purpose of Design for Manufacturing & Assembly.
- Initiate a DFMA initiative by fixing clear DFMA objectives and taking into account the [b]necessary input data, constraints and the relevant lessons learned from similar past projects.
- Carry out a Functional Analysis (Needs and internal) Allowing the choice of the optimal architecture of a product with regard to all functional needs, including those related to manufacturing and assembly constraints.
- Understand the links that exist between assembly constraints, manufacturing constraints and other functional constraints, know how to take them into account optimally.
- Understand how the DFMA approach [b]is changing the[b] design and development process.
- Build on the learning experience resulting from a DFMA project.
The "Pluses" of the training session
- This training is preceded by a tailoring period: Tailor-made training materials and practical workshops on examples of products, manufacturing and assembly means specific to the organizing company.
- This training includes a 6-months period of post training support (email exchanges, webinars, phone, response time depending on the trainer’s availability).

Accessibility policy
All our training courses are accessible to the disabled, people with reduced mobility, visually impaired and hard of hearing.
As part of our accessibility policy, we have set up a partnership with Atout-caP, to ensure that each participant receives appropriate support. Thanks to this partnership, we benefit from the expertise of an external disability referent, Amandine Pillot, who is systematically consulted to adapt our training courses to the specific needs of the learners concerned.
In order to offer you the best possible welcome, we ask you to inform us of any disability as soon as you register. This will give us the time we need to make the appropriate adjustments.
