“…Gao et al (2019) made an application that could set an example for applying the DFMA method in the construction industry [13]. Naga Malleswari et al (2020) attempts to shorten the total installation time by using the B&D DFA Method in an enterprise that produces an electrical plug [14]. When the results were examined in the literature, it was determined that an average of 38% increase in productivity was achieved and the B&D Method was used more as a method of measuring design efficiency [14].…”

This study will contribute to the literature by presenting an application example of DFA, which is a method that can be used to improve product development times, which are seen to be limited in number and whose importance is increasing due to today's technological development speed.…”

The purpose of this research is to show the benefits to be obtained by redesigning production processes for small and medium-sized enterprises, which aim to grow but cannot develop due to runaway production. In this study, an exemplary approach is presented using the principles of Design for Assembly (DFA) in an enterprise aiming to grow in the elevator industry. Within the scope of the research, the doorframe assembly process of the semi-automatic elevator door, which is the most produced in the elevator industry, was examined. According to this; Design improvement studies were carried out in the assembly processes of the side profiles, head plate, forehead plate, floor plate and their subparts used in the production of the case. In the design improvement, the B&D design efficiency measurement principles were used. As a result of the improvements; The semi-automatic door frame, which is 98 pieces in its current design, has been reduced to 55 pieces with the new design. With the reduction in the number of parts and design changes, the total assembly time was reduced by 33.8% in assembly time. As a result of the improvements, the Design Efficiency has been increased from 8.5% to 12.8%.
