1. P13458 RIT Senior Design Team May 3, 2013 9AM-11AM Dresser- Rand, Painted Post http://edge.rit.edu/edge/P13458/public/Home Separables Project Close-out

2. Agenda Problem Statement and Goals Accomplishments & Recommendations: Transport System Accomplishments & Recommendations: Shop 6 Layout Reflections on the D-R/RIT Partnership

3. Problem Statement Design a flexible material handling system that is easy to use and incorporates the safest design elements within cost and functionality constraints. This design fully supports the new process layout in Dresser- Rand’s strategic project to increase capacity for the MOS compressor projected sales.

4. Air Pallet Design: 3P Ergonomic Issues During the 3P event it became apparent that the Fixed System would create a maze of obstacles when moving from station to station Decisions were made to eliminate the fixtures at each station and modify the Free System for testing and shipping Layout will also be spaced out to provide more maneuvering room from station to station

5. Modified Free System Conceptual design Method of manufacture and dimensions undetermined Removable fixture attaches to beam and acts like a jackstand Overcomes flaws that were revealed during the 3P event Stress analysis not completed results should be comparable to the free system results

6. Modified Free System Qualities Pros No more fixtures Resolves ergonomic issues discovered during the 3P event Lowers move prep time – no longer need to configure fixtures from station to station Bolt on legs removable for test and shipping Cons Requires the floor to be leveled

7. Recommendations – Movement Modify testing station to incorporate free-system design Possible lifting/attachment to test bed Determine lifting/loading method Need 3-axis positioning without a crane Modified Grey Portable Lifting system for vertical lifting Back truck under lifted compressor Air bearings under truck bed Driver positioning

8. Shop 6 Layout - Post 3P Event Top Level Assembly Level

9. 3P Event Results *Factors not considered yet: Future Expansion

10. Recommendations Re-evaluate test bay requirements for sizing and safety – retractable blast walls Add in and test inventory flow and information flow Understand exact requirements and locations for energy/power/air sources Full dimensioning of layout Computer simulation of process flow Continuous evaluation and improvement 5S taping and marking to indicate specific areas, i.e. operator walking zone inside cell, in-process kanban, visitor aisle way Identify and allocate future expansion area

11. Reflections on the D-R/RIT Partnership Overall, very successful learning experience Design process Understanding fluctuating customer needs Efficiency of communication Recommend a “consulting” contract be completed at the start Recommend creating a communications protocol to prevent delay in work as the team waits for feedback
