| Summary: | The hard disk drive industry is marked by intense competition and rapid technological change. Opportunities for cost reduction are eagerly sought after by the industry; designing for ease of assembly is one such avenue. Associated with assembly is dis-assembly, the pre-requisite to re-work, a significant cost driver in the disk drive industry. Another avenue is the dimensional
tolerancing and precision of parts and sub-assemblies, which are not only important by
themselves, but because of their impact on the ease of assembly. |
