Design for Manufacturing and Assembly
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) is a process by which products are designed with ease of manufacture and assembly in mind. One common application is the use of prefabrication/off-site pre-assembly methods.
C2V+ and the other United Utilities delivery partners are involved in the development of product libraries that are held centrally. These libraries include details that are instantly re-usable on other projects providing a methodology by which a standardised approach can be applied.

C2V+ successes in the application of DfMA are being tracked using the approach below.
To date, C2V+ has identified DfMA opportunity savings of £2.8m and 315 programme days (August 2016), which relate to the use of prefabricated tanks at Oswestry, Chorley and Hesketh Bank.
