2. INTRODUCTION
For a long time in the pump industry, various assembly issues and practices have impacted quality, hindered on-time delivery and has resulted decreased customer satisfaction. Hence it becomes important that the conventional practises be relooked into and bring about significant changes.
Here we analyse the current practice of building pumps, identify deficiencies, provide concerted and innovative solutions and also demonstrate its gross benefits. 2

3. Critical aspects involved in current assembly practises
Pre-Job briefing
Refer Cross Sectional, Material of Construction & GA for visualization and material control
Use of IOM Manual to build pump
Consult Inspection dept. to check values in case of critical fits
On-Job training for new and inexperienced personnel 3

4. Deficiencies and Issues in current practices
Inadequate visual aides and procedures are responsible for lost-opportunity cost.
Poor Material Control
Time and Effort for training new and inexperienced personnel
Lack of exposure to viable alternative techniques
Difficulty in smooth transfer of job at change in Shifts
Time and Estimate control over assemblies
Identifying and usage of proper tools and tackles
Chances of missing protective devices conforming to the regulations, code and statutes applicable. 4

5. Solution 1:
Exploded View Drawing 5
Private and confidential

6. Benefits Enhances the operator’s perspective of the pump to be built
Easy identification of component’s location
Depicts all components unlike the sectional drawing
Descriptive and quantified list of parts list in the drawing assists in easy, quick identification of location of components in assembly
Greater details of small but necessary components Exploded views show objects blown apart to see reveal parts of interest
Conveys the 3-D perspective of the component and its spatial relationships with other parts 6

10. Solution 3:
Video Animation

11. Benefits Great visual learning tool, specially for beginners
Emphasizes correct sequence of assembly practices along with assembly instructions
Helps in identifying required tools. This assumes special significance especially when an operator entering a radioactive environment can carry only the bare minimum required tools to limit the exposure to radiation
Better understanding of the Pump as a product 11
