Design for manufacture (DFM) has become a crucial component of global competitiveness in terms of achieving high quality control and low cost products, as well as shortening new product introduction cycles. As the US electronics industry struggles to regain market share from Japan and Europe, these issues will become particularly critical. This book, derived from Shina's popular NEPCON seminars, introduces and familiarize design, production, quality, and processing engineers, and their managers, to DFM concepts, and how they can be most effectively applied to electronics manufacturing. The book goes beyond basic DFM, bringing in methods from just-in-time, statistical process control, and computer integrated manufacturing, and illustrating the concepts with extensive industrial examples and case studies. This book should be of interest to design, production, process and manufacturing engineers in the electronics industry; electronic engineering and industrial technology graduate students, engineering graduate students. - from Amzon
