Overview Current Inventory Delivery Specifications Budget Cart Selection Approved Kitting Cart Design Proposed Kitting Cart Process Trial Cart Bin Selection Feasibility Analysis Test Plan
Current Inventory Delivery Two rolling carts Many small items unsorted in cardboard boxes Inconsistent labeling (tape pull tickets/”bag and tag”, varies by operator) Inconsistent item placement No visual indicators of cart status Rolling carts brought from inventory to the floor.
Current Inventory Delivery Heavy parts and subassemblies brought to the floor on pallets Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) out on floor for bolts, gathered by “water spider” Supermarket out on the floor for some common parts, gathered by operators Rotor subassembly on pallet. VMI.

Approved Kitting Cart Design Two rolling cantilever carts labeled by contract # – Main assembly cart – Pre-assembly cart Removable plastic bins, labeled and color coded by station Specific slot for each item in bin, labeled with name and picture Flag system to indicate cart status
Proposed Kitting Process For each contract, workers will pull parts by station and place in plastic bins – Includes VMI, which is moving back to stores Filled plastic bins go on cantilever cart in staging area, yellow flag raised When all parts have been pulled, green flag is raised to show that cart is complete Operator moves cart from staging to assembly area
Trial Cart Used during test of new smart card ticket system Existing cantilever cart and small plastic bins from stores Plastic bins labeled by station; color coded labels only No dividers; items loose in bins, pull tickets placed on top Main assembly trial cart.
Bin Design Color coded labels not visible enough; bins themselves should be color coded Loose items in bins are not easily identified and can be damaged; need specific slots Loose items in bins.
Bin Prototype 4 in 17 in 22 in Used pulled parts from smart card ticket test, laid out slots for each item Substitute material (foam and cardboard); actual bins will be heavy duty plastic Will show workers in inventory area to get feedback on basic design Looking for similar items already available on the market Shallow plastic bin with optional dividers, already available on the market.

Detailed Drawing
Usage Current Process for assembly leaves gantry crane relatively stationary In stations 2 and 3, a rotor cart (already owned) is wheeled under the gantry crane. Rotor is lifted, and main assembly cart is moved underneath gantry. Rotor is installed. Nozzle rings and top casings are installed in similar fashion. In this usage the threat of having suspended parts swaying during movement is minimized. In case crane needs to be moved while items are suspended, crane will have eye hooks welded to the frame, operators can use supplied tow straps with rubberized hooks to secure suspended items for movement
Feasibility Analysis Max Static Deflection= ~.025” Max Static Stress = ~12,950 psi Factor of Safety =~ 2.75 Based on Hand Calculations
Test Plan March (1) ▫ Important components of test run will be ease of use and general acceptance of device by line workers. April (2) ▫ Expected Loads will be ~400 lbs for the rotor, ~900lbs for the top casing and ~50lbs for the Nozzle Ring, well below Max Rated capacity. May (1) ▫ Test any upgrades to the design based on previous feedback

Detailed Design
Feasibility Analysis Software will eliminate manual Pick List development. File manipulation should take less than a minute during run time. Straight forward navigation. Invalid Contract # will cause macros to malfunction. SD-1: Dependant on Standard Work generation. SD-1: Part-Asm. Station relationship needs to be predefined. SD-2:Optimization should only take a few minutes (pick list dependant) during run time. SD-2:Distance matrix will need to be updated as storage locations are added/modified. SD-2:Invalud Part # or Storage Location could generate an error in the algorithm.
Test Plan March (1) Test Sub-design 1 on several orders. (Subject to Std Work Availability). March (19) Test Pick order algorithm on sample Contract. April (2) Verify Sub-design 1 & 2 integration into DR- Intranet.
