We Offer Design For Manufacturability Services!
Speed to Market and Cost reductions through
Machining Centered Design
Medical Device OEM’s that have applied Norman Noble Inc.’s Design for Manufacturability
services have realized substantial benefits. Costs and time-to-market are often cut in half
with significant improvements in quality and delivery. These services are most effective
when applied to projects that involve tight tolerances and exotic materials, including NiTinol.
Design for Manufacturability is the process of proactively designing products to (1)
optimize all the manufacturing functions: fabrication, finishing, testing, assembly and
packaging, and (2) assure the best quality, cost, regulatory compliance, and time-to-market.
Concurrent Engineering is the practice of concurrently developing products and their
manufacturing processes. If new processes are to be utilized, then the product and the
process must be developed concurrently.
Design for Manufacturability and Concurrent Engineering are proven design
methodologies that work for any size company. Early consideration of manufacturing issues
shortens product development time, minimizes development cost, and ensures a smooth
transition into production for quick time to market.
