A literature review on the assembly design methodologies (DfA) oriented to the assembly of large and heavy parts, reveals the need to develop a DfA methodology. In addition, the lack of DfA evaluation methods for on-site assembly is also observed. The most widespread DfA methodologies are more oriented toward the improvement of factory assembly pro...

One of the main aspects that must be considered while developing any industrial project is its cost. Design to Cost (DtC) processes allow the design team to manage any kind of project based on the costs of each of the phases and of the elements, by applying a number of methodologies, techniques, cost models and tools. In this paper, a DtC framework...

Design for Assembly (DFA) methodologies help the designer to take into account the assembly process during the development phases of a product (specifications, conceptual design and detailed design), thus improving the assembly process of the product. Nevertheless, to what extent can they support the life cycle of a product? The article identifies...

The sustainability of society will require changes in people, organisations and public administrations. The circular economy is postulated as a driving element of this change. Nevertheless, how do we deal with this change? This article aims to identify the key aspects of the circular economy in order to transfer them to the development teams of ind...

Design for Assembly (DFA) methodologies help the designer to take into account the assembly process during the development phases of a product (specifications, conceptual design and detailed design), thus improving the assembly process of the product. After a bibliographic review, it is verified that the most extended DFA methodologies are: Boothro...
