TeamSET provides a set of tools that, whilst relevant throughout the product life cycle, focuses on the stage at which most product costs are committed - the early design activity.

What are the tools ?

TeamSET embodies 6 well proven Concurrent Engineering Tools in an integrated suite. Systematic use of these tools greatly increases the effectiveness of multi-disciplinary teams through the entire product introduction process, from concept development to market launch.

The tools are :-

Design For Assembly - DFA

Manufacturing Analysis - MA

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis - FMEA

Quality Function Deployment (QFD)

Concept Convergence (Con Con)

Design to Target Cost (DTC)

What are the benefits ?

You and your design team(s) can explore and compare design or re-design options quickly and with minimum effort. This will allow you to be certain that you have addressed such problems as time-to-market, quality, reliability and cost, by ensuring that the design to which you are committing is simple to manufacture and assemble, has a minimum of non-essential parts, keeps tooling costs down and will meet customer needs.

Further, work from previous products, assemblies and parts analysis can be re-used in later design or re-design activities negating the need to start from scratch each time. This will not only shorten analysis times but also enable you to capitalize on the benefits that accrue from standardisation, consistency and predictability.
