A model truck instrument panel (IP) was evaluated with the goal of generating ideas which could improve both ease of initial manufacture and efficiency of end-of-life material recovery. A DFA analysis included all of the mechanical assembly work in the IP. Electrical and electromechanical devices were considered as parts so that only their installation in the main assembly was considered. Results of the study show that the panel offers the potential for substantial structural simplification. The results of such simplification include a significant reduction in total manufactured cost plus a dramatic improvement in the ease with which materials could be recovered from the IP as the end of useful life.
