IMPROVING DESIGN Communication Using DfA Analysis and Feedback

摘要

Neutralizing all the disparate source data into a single data format that can be used by manufacturing while eliminating redundancies is the key to accelerating design data from concept to manufacturing. This data can then be used as a collaboration medium between engineering, PCB layout, and manufacturing, balancing the unique requirements of each group and providing the ability to focus analysis and feedback, ensuring that the resultant product meets the quality and cost targets. These tools and the common data set provide the underlying method to communicate product-specific data from design to manufacturing, and will help manufacturers meet the increasing challenges they face in bringing products profitably to market.
