“…DFEE concepts play a key role in helping to ensure minimal disruption by designing the products to take advantage of slack capacity and by suggesting alternative strategies for the timing of release of the product to manufacturing. Some research, such as that presented by Haffner and Graves[26] concentrates on timing issues for new product introduction, but no literature exists which explicitly includes slack capacity considerations during new product design.…”

In many industries, the success or failure of a new product is largely determined in the design phase of the project. Consequently, manufacturers should strive to develop integrated system design tools to help ensure that new products are readily producible according to manufacturing or assembly capability. Introduces a systems integration strategy called “design to fit an existing environment” (DFEE). The purpose of this DFX sub‐strategy is to integrate capacity and product mix issues into design strategies so that it becomes possible to design new products which are more globally optimal from a systems standpoint. The result of using DFEE is that better product time‐to‐market targets can be established, and products can be designed to take advantage of existing slack manufacturing capacity, thus balancing assembly flow and reducing capital expenditures.

“…For late delivery, the cost may be in terms of lost market share for later market penetration. Haffner and Graves[26] describe this “time to market” release time problem. A reasonable assumption may be that a quadratic loss function, as commonly used in the area of quality control (see Taguchi et al .…”
