Developing and Defining A Method - Practice Questions

This document contains two practice questions about developing efficient assembly methods. [1] The first question describes how a rope clip is currently assembled and asks to design a more efficient method, including an instruction sheet showing hand motions and workplace layout. [2] The second question describes the components of a one-step stool and asks to design the most efficient assembly method for it as well, providing an instruction sheet and workplace layout. The document provides diagrams of the rope clip and stool to aid in designing optimized assembly processes.

Developing and Defining a Method –


Practice Questions
1. The rope clip shown consists of three different parts: A, the U bolt; B the casting; C, the
hexagonal nuts. The rope clips were originally assembled in the following manner. The
operator grasped a U bolt from bin 1 with her left hand and carried it up in front of her.
Then she grasped a casting from bin 3 with her right hand and assembled it onto the bolt;
and in a similar manner she grasped (from bin 2) and assembled in succession the two
nuts onto the threaded ends of the bolt. She then disposed of the assembly with her right
hand into bin 4 at her right.

Position of bins during assembly

a. Design the most economical and efficient method for making this assembly.
b. Prepare an instruction sheet of the proposed method, showing the motions of the
two hands. Include a layout of the workplace.
