hundreds of fortune 1000 companies including dell john deere harley davidson kohler and westinghouse use dfma to cut costs and achieve design innovation dfma is a fundamental business process for the dell engineering team because it supports our holistic approach to cost it helps us analyze our designs and make decisions that lower overall costs not just product costs de dell computer engineering team at the core of our program is the understanding that real savings come from helping suppliers reduce the cost of materials and improve the manufacturability of their designs the software accurately models part costs providing a quantitative basis for evaluating competing design alternatives hd harley davidson cost management group the software s new reporting features have improved our capacity to quickly present outcomes to key stakeholders this latest version continues the company s leadership in product simplification and cost estimating bd bill devenish global dfma leader kohler company used boothroyd dewhurst software to help negotiate contracts for medical company found the dfma team to be a great asset to work with there were many unique tools that needed to be modeled and b d provided the knowledge js jarret southern medical industry jan 2025 we recently adopted dfma and it has greatly enhanced our negotiation processes its data driven approach provides
