ResumoThis paper presents a guideline which uses the concepts of DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) methodology for specific application on aircrafts design and manufacturing. The main goal of the guideline is to guide the engineers during the aircraft development phases, such that a better aircraft design is achieved. The guideline provides a better evaluation of manufacturing processes, assembly, maintenance, capability and human factors (ergonomics). It is expected to improve the manufacturing and simplify the assembly to become easier the manufacturing of parts that will make the aircraft final assembly with low costs, high quality and the best optimized condition. A case study is showed to testify the advantages and benefits achieved when the proposed tool is used.
