The standardization of parts is a fundamental aspect of Design for Manufacturing (DFM), which can simplify product development efforts, lower the cost of parts and materials, simplify supply chain management, improve quality, improve serviceability, and support lean production. In product development, the part standardization presents the greatest opportunities for new design and significant cost reduction. Various product development projects from industries related to the standardization of parts and the standardization strategy will be presented.
