DFM optimization in design and manufacturing
At each successive step of the New Product Introduction (NPI) process, the cost of rectifying a product design problem increases tenfold. The Valor NPI platform provides comprehensive DFM analysis that you can apply concurrently with your design flow for maximum advantage, or at entry to manufacturing.
Resolve manufacturability issues early in the process to save time and money
For PCB designers, Valor NPI provides concurrent DFM analysis during the design process, applying upwards of 700 manufacturing rules to your design to ensure minimum revision spins in manufacturing. The DFM analysis flow can be set up to automatically analyse each new version and pinpoint all potential manufacturing problems directly in the CAD system. For manufacturing NPI and process engineers, Valor NPI provides comprehensive analysis of how new products match the fabrication, assembly and test processes, including BOM and AVL analysis, for rapid feedback to the design customer.
Coupled with Valor VPL Library this tool provides the ‘best in industry’ automated DFM coverage for your NPI DFM Services.
ROI for Valor NPI include….
- Lower DFM review costs, actual DFM coverage vs labor costs.
- Covers more DFM related detail than can be done manually.
- Provide systematic-repeatible DFM Analysis based on supplier and internal requirements.
- For OEM’s , it means concurrent engineering becomes part of quality systems from design inception.
- For CEM’s , tool allows professional comprehensive value added concurrent engineering services to be offered to clients.
- Verify AVL parts for DFM impact before purchaing parts.
- Get right first time philospophy.
