(cont.)
B&D offer eight rules or guidelines which are important during design for
manual assembly (listed in decreasing order of importance):
1. Reduce part count and part types
2. Strive to eliminate adjustments
3. Design parts to be self-aligning and self-locating
4. Ensure adequate access and unrestricted vision
5. Ensure the ease of handling parts from bulk
6. Minimize the need for re-orientations during assembly
7. Design parts that cannot be installed incorrectly
8. Maximize part symmetry if possible or make parts obviously
asymmetrical
