Abba Career Guidance & Counselling has announced that it would organise a one-day training programme on Design for Manufacturability/Assembly in Chennai on 19 May 2012. DFM/A techniques aim to reduce the cost and time of manufacturing/assembly by simplifying the product and process through such means as reducing the number of parts, combining two or more parts into one, reducing or eliminating adjustments, simplifying assembly operations, designing for parts handling and presentation, selecting fasteners for ease of assembly, minimizing parts tangling, and ensuring that products are easy to test.

The training programme is designed to suit those who are in cross-functional teams, for those involved in developing/modifying a product. The programme would be conducted by Mr Subrahmanian, who has more than 35 years of experience in areas like Business Process Re-engineering, EDP, Estimation and Special Projects, Human Resource Management and TQM, etc. He is a certified assessor for the CII-Exim award for Business Excellence, and has worked in companies like Enfield India Limited and Larsen & Toubro Limited.

Abba will organise a similar programme on the Pit Falls in Project Management in June 2012 in Chennai. (For details about the two programmes, contact Ms Sheeba, Principal Consultant, Abba Career Guidance & Counselling, Mobile: 95661-66178, 98408 24403, Email: acgct2@gmail.com, acgct2@yahoo.in)
