The price of the final product can be significantly influenced by including manufacturing aspects from the very beginning of the product design. Design for Manufacturing (DFM) aims to manufacture a product quickly, cheaply and to a high quality standard, so that the manufacturability of the product has taken into account all the different factors that affect it. This has a major impact on competitiveness.
