AVG’s Tear-Down Method integrates DFA in the Dynamic TD element, achieving better results for our clients.

• Simplify the design and reduce the number of parts. The probability of a perfect product goes down exponentially as the number of parts increases
• Better chances to automate at a lower cost. Automation becomes more difficult and more expensive when more parts are handled and processed
• Overhead costs reduced. Costs related to purchasing, stocking, and servicing also go down as the number of parts are reduced.
• Reduced WIP. Inventory and work-in-process levels will go down with fewer parts.
• Reduced Lead Times. As the product structure and required operations are simplified, fewer fabrication and assembly steps are required, manufacturing processes can be integrated and lead-times further reduced.
• Less Engineering Work. When parts can be eliminated, combined with another part, or the function can be performed in another way, the designer should go through less drawings and validations.
