Abstract
Assessing the product functions associating them with the manufacturability aspects is crucial to reducing the manufacturing cost. Similarly, delivering project solutions with real costs compatible with the values perceived by the customer becomes a relevant aspect for the success of a launch. Even in a concurrent engineering environment, there are no relevant tools that associate the Value Engineering (VE) concepts, where each function value is measured and comparing one by one, with the cost achieved in each of these same functions after application of the Design for Assembly (DFA). This study analyzed a proposal of applying an iterative method for IPDP, based on established EV and DFA techniques, which seeks the balance between value and cost of all functions of a mechanical subset. Thus, it was possible to evaluate the method application and analyze both its gains and its limitations. Then, the original design was compared with the solution after the proposal application. Finally, was verified the influence of the method on the balance between the value and the cost of each function, in addition to the direct comparison of the solution cost with the version without the method application. Among the results, this article presents a report showing the method viability, its, impacts and limitations.
