Design for Maintenance (DfM) Training by Tonex
Design for Maintenance (DfM) is a critical aspect of product and system design aimed at optimizing maintenance activities, reducing downtime, and improving overall reliability and performance. This course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of DfM principles, strategies, and best practices. Participants will learn how to design products and systems with maintenance in mind, considering factors such as accessibility, modularity, standardization, and predictive maintenance techniques. Through case studies, practical examples, and interactive discussions, participants will gain the knowledge and skills to implement effective DfM strategies in their organizations.
