Overview and Importance Engineering is a field of precision and optimization. The basics of engineering are embedded in the fact that a successful engineer will design and manufacture products with maximum utility and lowest costs. This will maximize efficiency and result in a product that lives up to its usefulness. The engineering field has seen a lot of innovations that may not always materialize into successful products for the end user, due to the only reason that they are not cost effective and adaptable solutions. This has given rise to the fact that now engineers in the design phase carefully weigh the choices in regards to the materials they use. This ensures the fact that all the hard work, energy and resources spent in designing a product are not laid to waste as the materials required to design the product are not suitable in the sense that the product’s cost will surely outweigh the utility it provides. Along with cost effectiveness, the practicality and ease of manufacturing are basic considerations for a product. A product too complex and demanding will require a longer production time, be susceptible to more errors, require more maintenance and also take longer to assemble and disassemble in case of trouble shooting for errors. This background is what actually results in the need of Design For Manufacture (DFM) and Design For Assembly (DFA). DFM provides the simplicity of manufacturing of parts that will form a product and DFA provides ease of assembly of
The customer, internal departments, and potential suppliers contribute to designing quality into molded parts. Due to Road-Master’s strict quality requirements and just-in-time inventory systems, nonconformance results in high costs, hinders customer relations, and endangers
The success of any manufacturing company is dependent on its manufacturing system design. The system design concept has been the basic force in manufacturing advancement. Without manufacturing design, all manufacturing would be stuck in the “square wheel” era. The first system design was the invention of the forerunner of the modern factory nearly 200 years ago. New design concepts are continually improving and impacting the worlds manufacturing.
The human race has made leaps and bounds in manufacturing of goods needed not only to survive, but to make our lives easier and more efficient. From the earliest recorded history, man has made the tools he needed to survive or gain a completive advantage. In the not too distant past, 100 years or so, we had skilled craftsman who had specific skills and talents. In a small town you would have a blacksmith, a tailor, a farmer, etc. Each of these people learned their skills through years of apprenticeships, and the items they made were unique. Their processes often took months or even years to complete. Since these times we as a society have progressed from craftsmanship to assembly lines. Even now we have robotic manufacturing,
The profession of mechanical engineering is a broad discipline of engineering. Mechanical engineers research, design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal sensors and devices, including tools, engines, and machines. The duties in this career typically include: analyzing problems to see how mechanical and thermal devices might help solve a problem, designing, or redesigning mechanical and thermal devices or subsystems (a set of interconnected systems), using analysis and computer-aided design, developing and testing prototypes of devices they design, analyzing the test results and changing the design or system as needed, and overseeing the manufacturing process for the device. The designing and testing of the various devices shows the
When a product is designed a specification is created to determine the standards for the product. In manufacturing these standards are given an allowable range. The most common attributes for these types of products are size, shape, color, weight, and piece count. The standards placed on these attributes determine the material used, equipment needed for processing, and labor. The tighter the standards are on these attributes the higher the cost is to produce. In today’s market, there is a demand to produce high quality products at competitive price
Both creation forms at Custom Molds have an awesome nature of assembling the molds and plastic part. Thus, quality should be clearly viewed as a main source of competitive advantage, by meeting customer requirements and also quality has to be consistent. In manufacturing strategy, therefore, quality is associated with both conformance to specifications and critical customer expectations.
Design products for reuse and recycling. Make them easy to disassemble so that the parts can be reused to make new products.
However, if you want the part to be fully functional, then you'll want it made to the same specifications that you'll make the mass-produced run. The advantage to having a fully-functional prototype made even though it costs more is that you can test it as it will be used in real life. When you're ready to have the piece made on a mass scale, consult with a professional on the best type of metal to use for your project so your buyers will be pleased with the product they buy.
• Skill in designing products for efficient manufacturing, for example, having a small component count to shorten the assembly process.
Manufacturing is a step of process used to convert raw materials into some useful part or product. In our day to day life the parts or a product that are used which are manufactured or derived from another materials it is fundamental objectives for all the problems, and these parts are manufactured by using some of the equipments.
Designs have bearing on the number of defects in production. If designs can be assembled incorrectly, chances of defects increase. Missing, unclear or incorrect designs lead to defects. High precision designs lead to lower yields and higher defects. Design should also meet the customer requirements.
Manufacturer’s today face more and more challenges than before because of highly volatile market changes, which creates large fluctuations in demand of product.To be competitive, companies must need design manufacturing systems that produce high quality products at low cost with responding to market changes in an economical way.FMSs are expensive, utilize inadequate system software, since developing user specified software is extremely expensive, not highly reliable and subject to obsolescence because of advances in technology and their fixed system software/ hardware. Due advances in computers, processing, optics, controls, information , high speed motors , linear drives and materials some time occurs in cycles as six months , today’s most efficient production system become inefficient after short
As we are an ISO 9001:2008 qualified organization, we design and fabricate products by creative use of quality accepted parts and cutting-edge technology under the strict guidance of quality manager. Due to features such as easy installation, high performance, hazardous-free functionality, most advantageous efficiency and low maintenance, the product range is highly demanded in chemical, food, pastic & polymer, ceramics, sugar
This gap between theory and practice in directly related to a gap between engineers and management. Currently, engineers are in control of the design and construction, but the process of this operation is given to management whose primary concern is cutting production cost. Consequently, necessary redundancies are lost during construction. Although this eliminates initial cost, it increases future cost because
I am in pursuit of a life where the education I choose lets me explore the wealth of knowledge and wisdom. I strongly recognize that manufacturing engineering is the domain where my purpose and passion mingle. It is my earnest belief that the education in manufacturing engineering that I have received until now has helped me to grasp the fundamental principles of the subject. This knowledge, when coupled with dedicated master’s study would be the ideal preparation for a career in applied research or academics in the manufacturing industry, a vast field of science from developing new materials to manufacture an aircraft. After giving a visit to an Aero India Show last year in Bangalore has, developed a curiosity in me to know the manufacturing world of an aerospace industry. It is for this reason that I wish to pursue a Masters course in Aerospace Engineering in the “Aerospace Structures and Materials track” from Delft University of Technology.
