Abstract

The paper presents experience and research into the aerospace application of Design For Manufacture (DFM) supported by Cost Estimating Relations. A review of its competitive need and engineering application is followed by several DFM case studies. Subsequently, the issue of cost estimating is highlighted in showing how cost must be integrated into the design process as a metric and engineering parameter. It is concluded that successful DFM application requires a measured, structured approach that is supported at each stage by readily deployable cost estimating tools.
