Boston Engineering Design for X

The goal of DFX is to focus attention on the variable and/or feature of interest capable of creating the desired outcome, given all other related considerations. In most instances, the variable X is not the only avenue that could be chosen for evaluation and re-design. Complex products or systems often have several variables that can be adjusted to result in improved performance, reduced cost, etc. However, the interaction of these variables are occurring inside of constraints, (often involving size, cost, performance, serviceability, etc.) all of which need to be considered.

DFX is often employed to improve a product in the face of new competition or a market shift, extend the lifecycle (and profits) of an existing product who’s components are harder to come by, or to quickly solve a new performance or compliance issue that has arisen. However, the focus and discipline of DFX can be a much more powerful tool if used as part of a broader strategical approach to developing product/process differentiation, and a sustainable advantage against competition. The Boston Engineering product development system encompasses DFX to ensure a smooth product launch and success in the marketplace.  Boston Engineering has DFX knowledge and experience to address aspects and values of a product such as manufacturability, test, reliability, safety, serviceability, cost, and compliance with industry standards and government regulations.
