Basics of cost-down design (VA/VE) and its key points and examples (1) Basics and applications of cost-down design (2) Optimizing materials (3) Optimizing processing methods (4) Optimizing processing processes (5) Optimizing shapes (6) Improving quality, delivery time, and price through cost-down design (7) Weight reduction - Methods to perform VAVE without mistakes in shape and material selection (8) VAVE that can involve cooperating factories, basic teardown a. Unstable shapes in quality are major cost-increasing factors b. Examples where cost reduction is difficult (9) Common pitfalls in design labor reduction methods with 2D CAD and their repercussions

The 'Funax Cost Reduction Newsletter through VA/VE' is irregularly distributed every 1 to 2 weeks, providing methods and case studies for cost reduction in machine parts and units. The features of this cost reduction newsletter include the optimization of eight elements: 1. Materials | 2. Processing methods | 3. Processing processes | 4. Shapes | 5. Weight reduction | 6. Parts reduction | 7. Countermeasures for similar products | 8. Drawings, which allows for smooth cost reduction through various methods and case studies. We hope it will be helpful for your business. Cost reduction measures are best approached by identifying and resolving issues in parts and units one at a time, rather than trying to tackle everything at once. While it is not easy to implement according to the eight cost reduction elements we advocate, it can be achieved steadily.
