Design for Service

  • Chapter
Design for X

Abstract

This chapter presents a Design for Service (DFS) tool developed at the University of Rhode Island (URI) to help design teams address the serviceability of their designs at the same time as the important decisions are being made for ease of initial assembly. The DFS analysis procedure covers the range of disassembly and reassembly operations commonly carried out in service work (Whyland, 1993; Subramani and Dewhurst, 1994; Dewhurst, 1993).
