Part combination of design for assembly using Effort Flow Analysis (EFA)

Design For assembly (DFA) is an important tool used to review the design for product evolution. It is aimed at reducing number of parts to be assembled in a product. This may lead to reduction of part cost achieved through reduction of assembly time and material used. The main focus in this project...
