Design for Manufacture (DFM) — also known as value analysis or cost reduction systems — has long been a key driver in helping customers achieve competitive pricing without compromising on quality. The principle is simple: work closely with your supplier to ensure components can be manufactured more efficiently, delivering measurable savings year after year.
At GW Martin, we’ve been applying this methodology for many years, using two core approaches:
At GW Martin, quality isn’t just a promise – it’s proven. Our certifications and industry accreditations reflect our ongoing commitment to excellence, precision and reliability in everything we do.
We believe that the best results come from working with our customers, not just for them. That’s why DFM at GW Martin is built on genuine two-way communication. By engaging early in the design stage, we can identify opportunities to save costs, improve manufacturability and accelerate production — without compromising the performance of your component.
Our in-house engineering team has the expertise to take your initial drawings and evaluate them. Whether it’s a simple tweak or a full redesign, we’ll ensure your component is optimised before it reaches the factory floor to save you time, money and unnecessary revisions down the line.
