Design
for Excellence
With 70 – 80% of a product’s cost “locked down” at the end of the design
cycle it is critical that the design team utilizes the tools available to design
it right the first time. Beacon’s Design for Excellence program insures that
the product is designed right it meets or exceeds the customer’s
expectation, can be built with high quality, and most importantly can be
Manufactured cost effectively.
The tools that we use to accomplish Design for Excellence include:
 Quality Function Deployment – Helping to translate customer needs to product requirements
Design for Six Sigma – Design robust products having high manufactured quality
Design for Manufacturability / Assembly – Product that is easy to manufacture and assemble
Design for Reliability – High reliability. (e.g. Engine designs that don’t need tune-ups)
Design for Serviceability – Easy to service (e.g. Oil changes in 2 minutes without tools)
Design for Ease of Use – Intuitive
