  7. Abstract:
  8. Competitive world of industrial production need more speed and faster reaction for the customer needs. This should be carried out in low cost activities while satisfying what the consumers and customers require. Business of commercial refrigerators and freezers is a big industry targeting small to big customers. In this thesis a systematic method relying on reduction of cost, reworking and unexpected expenditures in product life is utilized. Stands for Design for Manufacturing, DFM is a series of principles and guideline simply to achieve a faultless design of a product so that the non-incurred costs of the product travel through its life cycle become minimized. Freezers and refrigerators are those products of having plenty of manufacturing and assembly features need to be reconsidered in terms of DFM. In the current thesis, selecting a local factory close to Tehran, we focused on few products in order to investigate the possibility of applying DFM. Then some rules and general principles of DFM have been applied in terms of improvement suggestions. DFM is not confined to manufacture and encompass a broad range of every aspect of design such as environment, aesthetics, safety, serviceability and so on. The outcome will be increasing efficiency of the factory in production and upstream and downstream activities along with booming core competency in product design and development
