How to manage bottlenecks in manufacturing

Manufacturing or material requirement planning quite often faced with one or multiple bottlenecks. As bottlenecks are so important to the throughput of a system scheduling and controlling them is very important.

uses of bill of material

Bill of material known as BOM is commonly used engineering terminology. This article covers definition and uses of bill of material of a product. Bill of material is a listing of all the subassemblies, intermediates, parts, and raw materials that go into making the high level assembly showing the quantities of each required to make a go into making/manufacturing the parent assembly showing the quantities of each required to make an assembly.

Electric discharge machining (EDM) is a chipless metal removal process also known as Spark Erosion Process. In an EDM metal removal operation, a dielectric fluid is an important and essential working medium. Dielectric fluid is flushed through the spark gap or supplied to the gap through a hole in the tool or from external jets. In some operations the fluid is supplied through openings in the work piece if feasible. The flow of this working medium is designed to take in specific directions [ … ]

product validation

Product verification and peer reviews are the activities assessing whether or not the component or assembly meets the design output. Product design validation goes beyond the verification. Its purpose is to ensure that the product will operate and meet its intended use.

CAD - Product Validation

Component / Product Design Verification

Product verification is an extension of the product design review process involving product design team. One can think of as the peer review process involving team, for example check for quality, a check conducted against a set of criteria depending upon the functionality of the part, sub assembly, assembly or product. Verification can be an organized effort. It often precedes a peer review or it is employed at certain milestone points in product development process: When critical component [ … ]

Product functional specifications are related to the quality of a product. Quality of product is defined differently by everyone. For some one product quality means “best performance” , “ excellent one” , “ Ultimate” , or “ Superb product” etc. All of the statements on product quality sound great but none of them clearly connects product functional specification with quality. There are many definitions of quality, but they all centered on the idea of user satisfaction. On this basis, i [ … ]

clutch plate assembly

Understanding design requirements of a clutch requires clear understanding of operation of a clutch. Clutch consist of driving member and driven member in which the driving member of a clutch is the flywheel mounted on the crankshaft and the driven member is the pressure plate mounted on the transmission shaft. Friction surface also known as clutch plate is between the two members.

Clutch and it's functions:

Clutch is a device used in the transmission system of a motor vehicle to engage and disengage the engine to the transmission. Thus the clutch is located between the engine and the transmission. Typically a clutch consits of clutch fork, thrust bearing, diaphragm, cover, pressure plate, clutch plate, and a flywheel as shown below in the figure.
