Designing for Low Volume Production
In high-volume products, costly investment in design and development is spread over a large production quantity. The result is high-quality, low-cost engineering. In contrast, products produced in low volumes (batch sizes of less than 50 units) often appear to offer inferior value for money. This workbook describes a design approach for economic low-volume production and design techniques which reduce the cost while maintaining or improving the functional and aesthetic qualities. Case studies are included to show the use of the method to assess the scope for cost reduction and identify related design changes.
