DFMA by Boothroyd Dewhurst is a software provider that supports engineering and sourcing teams in controlling costs early in product development. Its core tools—DFMA: Should-Costing and DFMA: Product Simplification—make cost assumptions explicit, weigh design trade-offs, and rely on global manufacturing data to guide design choices, supplier selection, and make-vs-buy decisions. The platform integrates Global Manufacturing Profiles spanning more than 22 countries, with data on labor, equipment, and materials. The primary customers are OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers across industrial, consumer, medtech, and automotive sectors seeking to reduce costs before issuing RFQs. Use cases include design-to-cost work, supplier negotiations, value analysis and engineering, and offshoring or reshoring decisions. Based in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, the company released DFMA 2020, expanding its ability to analyze parts and assemblies for cost control and manufacturing efficiency.
