In order to achieve professional quality product/ process and service system design engineering skills, besides a strong analytical, digital design and digital manufacturing / assembly engineering foundation, one needs to learn basic and often very simple design rules. One of the best ways to learn these rules is to disassemble and analyze various products, try to understand the design / manufacturing / assembly processes followed, and also learn from mistakes. In this program Professor Ranky introduces, and to some extent illustrates several basic product design, process design, design for quality, assembly /disassembly, and other design rules with simple and practical examples whilst disassembling an inkjet printer on screen. In particular, the rules and principles discussed with examples include: design for quality, maintenance, assembly, disassembly, eco-friendly design issues, cost, risk, the concept of designing components, modules, and systems that can be assembled, as well as disassembled, material selection issues, design for the environment, the principle of 'z' stacking for assembly / disassembly, modular design principles, some part handling, and feeding issues, automated assembly and disassembly challenges, and others. Level: Product, process designers and managers, digital design and manufacturing engineers, industrial engineers, manufacturing and assembly system design engineers, quality control engineers, industrial designers, maintenance system design engineers and managers. Ideal for undergraduate / graduate education and research in product / process design, DFM , DFA, DFQ, (Design for Manufacturing, Assembly, Quality, Disassembly), Concurrent Engineering, PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), CAD / CAM, TQM, industrial engineering, industrial design, and others. Several sections and cases could be used even for high school students and technicians learning/ exploring customer-focused product/process/assembly/disassembly/ maintenance service design challenges.
