In the design of a product, several factors are involved to define it as functional and is also important to clearly state its life cycle. On the other hand, the participation of the client or end user is very important for the approach of the main specification and with the purpose of conforming a product that has ample possibilities of competition in the global market. Looking for the consolidation of a new product, in the present work the redesign of a harvester (case study) was carried out. For the proposal of the new design, the reference framework is based on design for disassembly (DFD) to propose the development of the technical process and design for manufacturing (DFM) to optimize the production process. Is also presented the procedure used to structure the harvester redesign under the approach of production quality improvement and cost reduction, which helped to define a final functional configuration able to be aligned to mass production.
