Test Plan SP1: Time To Train User Plan: Gather a group of people and teach them individually how to use the system. Document how long it takes each person to gain competence with the system. Ideally, the group will contain a broad range of knowledge bases with regards to vibration and mechanical systems. This will help to get a better estimation on the time it would take to train someone with no engineering background. The individuals who were trained will be asked about areas that were unclear or difficult to understand. From their feedback, efforts will be made to streamline the process. This will occur whether or not the specification is met. SP8: Use Xerox’s Machine to Get a Pass Fail Criterion on the Test Bearings Plan: Xerox’s Acoustic machine will be setup and run according to the manual specifications. Pass or fail values will be collected for all of the test bearings. Four tests will be conducted on each bearing to make sure the result is repeatable since the machine has failed an MSA. The purpose of collecting these readings will be to compare them against the results from the vibration test stand that is being developed. SP9: Measurement System Analysis on Vibration Machine Plan: A measurement system analysis (MSA) will be conducted on the vibration machine. If the vibration machine fails the MSA, efforts will be made to identify areas where there are inconsistencies. These inconsistencies will be fixed and the MSA will be conducted again. This process will iterate until the vibration machine passes the MSA or until no other areas of improvement can be identified without redesigning the entire fixture. SP10: Results of Vibration Collection Plan: The results of the vibration collection will be dependent upon the pass and fail criteria that is developed using the test bearings. Vibration measurements will be conducted on each of these bearings and they will be correlated to the tests that were already conducted by Arnprior. The developed pass and fail criteria will then be input into the LabView interface and a pass or fail reading will be output at the end of each test.
