Chapter 12 is entitled “Total quality management (TQM) and purchasing.” Preliminary studies indicate that assembly time is roughly proportional to the number of parts assembled. It has been shown that the number of parts in a design can be decreased by 20–40 percent when engineers are told to design the product to minimize the number of parts.
