Design for Manufacturability is the practice of reducing product manufacturing costs while maintaining designed performance requirements. Several factors must be considered for cost-effective design and production.

• Cost and availability of materials
• Appropriateness of materials to manufacturing process
• Number of parts or components
• Complexity of product
• Design for ease of manufacture
• Tolerance requirements versus machining capabilities
• Assembly characteristics
• Testing and servicing requirements
• Appropriateness of design and materials in field use
