| Design for Manufacturing & Assembly |
| |
The design stage is most crucial phase of a product lifecycle. It is estimated that approximately 80% or more of the product lifecycle costs are determined during the design stage, and therefore, it is imperative to have perfect coordination between the design and manufacturing departments to ensure success and eliminate cost. Finding potential sources of manufacturing errors and fixing them during the design stage is an optimal way to achieve high quality products at reduced costs.
Our offerings are aimed at optimizing the product cost and technology by simplifying its design, assembly and manufacturing. Geometric has a dedicated team of design engineers, who have hands-on experience in assembly and DFMA knowledge to reduce manufacturing time and product complexity. We deploy our own proprietary tools like DFMPro, which has resulted in overall improvement of product design checking time by 15% for our customers. Our capabilities include: |
| |
- Design for Manufacturing
- Design for Assembly
|
| |
| Value Engineering |
| |
| Increased competition continues to put pressure on profitability of companies and there is a constant need to sustain profitability by introducing new products at lower costs. Value engineering is a systematic approach to seek optimum value by balancing the performance and cost of a product. |
| |
| Geometric offers value engineering services that help our customers realize maximum value by enhancing product functionality, performance, and quality at a minimum cost. Our consultants have extensively worked in various domains and used value engineering techniques to ensure better performance, aesthetic representation, and cost reduction of existing products. Our capabilities include: |
| |
- Analysis of existing product/process/service for functions and costs
- Design and development of alternative concepts, product feature and functionality enhancement
- Design for reduced costs and improved manufacturability as well as serviceability
|
| |
| Our Value Engineering services have helped our customers realize benefits such as: |
| |
- Reduced product cost
- Improved features
- Simplified assembly
- Reduced manufacturing cycle time
- Increased market share

| Design for Reliability |
| |
| With increased focus on proper utilization and maintenance of engineering systems and equipment, reliability needs to be designed and built into products at the early stages of product development. Reliability Engineering deals with ascertaining the probability that a system performs its intended function for a given time duration under stated operating conditions. Geometric has significant experience in addressing reliability problems throughout the product life cycle. We design reliable systems using various analysis tools & techniques, and improve potential design, manufacturing and maintainability problems during the product design. Our trained and certified reliability professionals identify potential failure mechanisms to ensure that the product meet its performance objectives at a given time. Our capabilities include : |
| |
- Failure Mode Effect and Analysis (FMEA)
- Criticality analysis (FMECA)
- Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
- Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
- Availability & Maintainability studies, Reliability Modeling and Redundancy techniques.
