Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Design for modularity involves breaking down a product into independent modules or subassemblies, making it easier to assemble, maintain, and repair.

What is the term used to describe the process of optimizing a product's design for manufacturability?

  1. Design optimization

  2. Manufacturability analysis

  3. Assembly optimization

  4. Product redesign


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Design optimization involves analyzing and modifying a product's design to improve its manufacturability and reduce production costs.

Which DFMA technique involves analyzing the assembly process to identify potential bottlenecks and inefficiencies?

  1. Value analysis

  2. Failure mode and effects analysis

  3. Design for modularity

  4. Assembly sequence analysis


Correct Option: D
