“…The decisions made early, reduce unnecessary changes during later PD stages, and even the total lifecycle costs. Design for X (DfX) is a structured means to systematically address the early product development, functional integration, and enable capability creation [12][13][14].…”

Information and communications technology (ICT) companies have realised how acknowledging the needs of both internal and external customers is a necessity for successful requirements engineering. Design for X (DfX) is a potential management approach for coordinating & communicating requirements emerging from both internal functions and external supply chain partners. This article studies the potential of DfX for improved requirements engineering. Qualitative interviews are utilised to analyse how different organisations implement the concept, including designers’ actual work, methods & tools, and organisational aspects. The results include viewing DfX as means to achieve relevant competitive goals, and describing how different companies organise these activities, together with their benefits for modern ICT companies. This study highlights how the DfX concept can be used to manage, prioritise and to better communicat

“…DfX aims to reduce time-to-market, lower cost and increase quality of products (Gungor and Gupta, 1999). Maltzman et al (2005) stress quality and customer satisfaction aspects, while Zuidwijk and Krikke (2008) emphasise the reusability viewpoint.…”

Purpose-This study provides a tangible example of organisational solutions in effective design for manufacturing (DfM) in a large information and communications technology (ICT) company. Design/methodology/approach-In this research an interview study was carried out in a leading ICT company to clarify the practical realisation of DfM, and the current challenges encountered. The interviews covered all the key persons involved in DfM and related processes, in a case company that has successfully applied DfM for over a decade. Findings-This study shows the importance of a separate management organisation for coordinating the requirements of internal functions. With relation to the case company, this organisation, in contrast to literature, is located in production, not in the product development. Despite the successful application of DfM, the case company still has challenges in exploitation of related data systems. Research limitations/implications-This study describes one of the top companies in its field. However, the obtained results could vary to some degree, should a wider set of companies be included in the study. Practical implications-Managers of other companies could learn from this example at three levels: organisational solutions for DfM, its practical realisation, and the challenges encountered. Originality/value-The existing literature is relatively scarce on organisational implications of DfM implementation. This study identifies a functional organisational location, structure, and practical realisation for effective DfM.

“…DfX means Design for X, where X may be any phase of a product's Lifecycle, and Design for Excellence, which focuses on quality and customer satisfaction (Maltzman et al, 2005). Additionally, factor X can represent (1) a speci c property or virtue such as cost, quality, lead time, e ciency, safety, risk, or environmental effects; or (2) a life-cycle stage of the product such as manufacturing, assembly, distribution, service, or disassembly (Benabdellah et al 2020.…”

The personnel protection market of civilian armored vehicles (CAVs) continually grows in emerging countries. Therefore, this article proposes a Design for Assembly and Armoring, DfA2 methodology for the lightweight ballistic protection operations of CAVs based on real practical situations showing the main difficulties and best practices of current armoring operating conditions. A bibliographic review focused on Design for Excellence (DfX) and automotive and ballistic protection design criteria were performed to introduce the base of the DfA2 proposal and apply it to a front door assembly case study, including CAD/CAE interface analysis. The authors presented the detailed armoring flow of the front door system using the DfA2 method. In addition, strategical cross sections showed critical areas of the referred assembly. The opaque and transparent armor parts installed comply with the NIJ-IIIA ballistic protection level. The DfA2 method provided meaningful automotive and ballistic considerations to integrate protection parts in the front door system. In addition, it proposed to conduct and spread the best practices for operation guidelines and procedure standards related to CAVs on shop floors. Furthermore, the DfA2 methodology intends to preserve the original functionalities and guarantees automobiles for consumers. The article integrates the practical operations of armoring companies with DfX tools and automotive and ballistic guidelines, all of which are incorporated in the DfA2.
