Design for Procurement
At Tame-Care, we integrate Design for Procurement (DFP) principles into the industrialization of electronic medical devices to optimize the sourcing of components and materials.
We strategically select reliable, certified suppliers to ensure the availability and quality of the required resources while minimizing costs.
Through close collaboration with our partner suppliers, we establish a secure and responsive supply chain that adapts to demand variations. This integrated approach enhances overall production efficiency, reduces stockout risks, and supports the successful market launch of high-quality electronic medical devices.
Design for Manufacturing
We apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to optimize the design for production of electronic medical devices.
Our engineers analyze and simplify designs to reduce the number of components and minimize errors while selecting suitable and cost-effective materials.
We optimize manufacturing processes using automation and advanced technologies, streamlining assembly at every stage.
By working closely with our clients, we develop tailored solutions that meet their specific needs, reducing costs, improving quality, accelerating time-to-market, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Design for Test
Design for Test (DFT) is a critical step to ensure the quality and reliability of the electronic medical devices we industrialize. The increasing complexity of medical device electronics requires optimizing testability and incorporating a Design for Testability phase early in the design process.
Leveraging the expertise of Tame-Test engineers, we integrate DFT recommendations, including hardware and software test coverage, into our development processes. This ensures efficient evaluation of performance, safety, and regulatory compliance during validation tests throughout manufacturing and integration.
This proactive approach allows early detection of potential defects, ensuring every electronic medical device meets the highest regulatory and quality standards before market release.
Incorporating test considerations during the medical device design phase is a significant advantage, reducing non-quality costs during production and contributing to an optimized final market price.
Design to Cost
The “Design to Cost” concept is central to our approach to industrializing electronic medical devices.
From the outset of the design process, we implement strategies to optimize production costs while maintaining the required quality and performance.
Our industrialization and design teams work together to identify cost-reduction opportunities without compromising the device’s integrity. This includes judicious component and material selection, optimizing manufacturing processes to minimize waste and inefficiencies, and exploring economical technical solutions.
We use advanced cost-analysis tools to assess the financial impact of each design decision, ensuring rigorous budget management throughout the project.
By adopting a “Design to Cost” approach, we are committed to delivering competitive electronic medical devices that combine quality, performance, and cost-effectiveness.

FAQ
What is industrialization?
Industrialization is the process of transforming a prototype or design into a product ready for large-scale production that is reliable and compliant with medical standards.
At Tame-Care, this stage ensures that your device is not only high-performing and safe, but also manufacturable at an optimized cost, while meeting regulatory requirements and the quality expected by the market.
What is Design for X (DfX)?
DfX encompasses several design methods aimed at anticipating production and usage constraints from the design phase:
- Design for Procurement (DFP): secure the supply of components and materials
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM): simplify and optimize the design to facilitate production
- Design for Test (DfT): integrate testing criteria from the design stage to ensure reliability and compliance
- Design to Cost (DTC): optimize unit cost without compromising quality or performance
This proactive approach reduces risks, accelerates time-to-market, and optimizes costs.
How do you apply Design for Procurement (DFP)?
We select reliable and certified suppliers to ensure the availability and quality of components and materials needed.
By working closely with our partners, we secure the supply chain, reduce stock-out risks, and guarantee continuous and efficient production.
This method directly contributes to the commercial and regulatory success of the medical device.
How do you optimize device manufacturing and testing (DFM and DfT)?
DFM (Design for Manufacturing): our engineers simplify designs, reduce the number of components, and select suitable and cost-effective materials. Processes are optimized through automation and advanced technologies, facilitating assembly and ensuring quality.
DfT (Design for Test): testing criteria for hardware and software are integrated from the design phase, enabling early defect detection and ensuring that each device meets performance standards and regulatory requirements.
This reduces costs related to non-quality and ensures a faster, more reliable market launch.
What is Design to Cost (DTC) and what are its benefits?
DTC involves optimizing production costs from the design phase without compromising quality or performance.
Our teams evaluate every technical choice, component, and process to minimize waste and maximize profitability.
This approach allows us to offer a competitive device on the market while ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, and reliability.
