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

  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 useand incorporates the safest design elementswithin 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

  12. Thank you! • Henry Bastian • Brent Hoban • Brian Spencer • Joe Willig • John Woedy • + all those who contributed to this project
