Into this, and learning from the automotive and aerospace industries factories from other segments are starting to understand and apply manufacturing and assembly oriented projects to ease the task of generate goods and from this obtain at least a part of the expected results. This paper is intended to demonstrate the applicability of the concepts of Concurrent Engineering and DFM/DFA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) in the development of products and parts for the White Goods industry in Brazil (major appliances as refrigerators, cookers and washing machines), showing one case concerning the development and releasing of a component. Finally is demonstrated in a short term how was reached a solution that could provide cost savings and reduction on the time to delivery using those techniques.engDFM/DFAPlastic partsProduct developmentWhite goods productsCost savingDesign for manufacturing and assembliesEngineering applicationsHigh pressureMassive productionProduct development processQuality standardShort termWhite goodsAerospace industryConcurrent engineeringCost reductionIndustrial engineeringMachine designSoft computingStandardizationWashersTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1109/ICCIE.2010.5668327Acesso aberto2-s2.0-786514339980329227262346932
