A Fuzzy Set AHP-Based Design for Manufacture Method

In the light of growing global competition, organizations around the world today are constantly under pressure to produce high-quality products at an economical price. The integration of design and manufacturing activities into one common engineering effort has been recognized as a key strategy for survival and growth. Design for manufacturability (DFM) requires product designers to simultaneously consider the manufacturing issues of a product along with the geometrical and design aspects. In this paper, part manufacturability was analyzed in detail. An evaluation system of DFM was proposed. Product design can be guided according to feedback information by evaluating the part manufacturability.
