Looking For Engineering Specifications

materials

binder [ZP...]

ink [HP...]

powder [ZP150]

coating [ZP...]

process and machine type [e.g. 3D printing]

Size

l x w x h [mm]

wall thickness [mm]

layer height [mm]

Amount of detail [# windows, etc.]

Cost

machine time and depreciation [hrs, $, etc.]

labour [hrs, $/hr]

raw materials [kg, # pkgs, $, etc.]

design [hrs, $?]

proximity "distance" [meters]

footprint [sqft]

walking path [meters]

# of walking paths -- stages in the path, etc.

5S

# of parts needed vs # of parts "there" -- if there is no standard, inquire to establish a potential standard, then monitor it and adjust it accordingly

size of parts (l x w x h) [inches]

frequency of orders? [daily, weekly, monthly, etc.] and size of orders [$, kg, sqft, etc.]

# of different types of parts

storage of parts

footprint

storage capacity

ease of reach [inches]

weight of parts [kg]

transportation of parts?

forktruck

manual

crane

personnel requirements?

time associated with each?

orientation of parts

# of tasks

# of quotes processed per day

How is the JO que managed? -- # of jobs waiting, # of jobs finished, time/job, setup time, etc.

# of people involved

Who is doing what task (labour rate - $/hr)

# of decisions being made

time/task [hrs, minutes]

# of redundant steps or tasks

accuracy of quotes ($ quoted / $ spent)

turnover rate of quotes to JO

delivery time success [hrs, days from estimate]

manual forms vs. automated forms and ensuing potential analysis [#forms/day/wk/month/quarter/year]

downtime cause and time [time of incident, duration of incident, machine failure issue, etc., date, hrs, cause codes, etc.]

preventive vs. predictive maintenance -- manual recommendations [tasks/day/wk/month/quarter/bi-annual/annual, etc.] vs. studied behaviour of the machine [cause and effect]

more steady runtime? (duration of periods w/o downtime) [parts/hr]

cost of labour [$/hr] (will this be affected if PM is done on weekends?)

work/hr (i.e. if work is more organized will more work get done in less time?)

$/minute? Does the factory use a metric like this?

will # of part defects be affected?

Process map

Tasks that need to be done

Steps/task

inputs per step or task

outputs per step or task

constraints per step or task

mechanisms per step or task

Once process steps are identified, what machines will help with each step -- specialized equipment? What are the machine specifications? (e.g. size, power rating, etc.)

Products of the process

Size of gas tank [m3]

dimensions of gas tank [in]

weight of gas tank [kg]

processing rate: gas tanks/hr recycled

delivery rate: gas tanks/day received

amount of recyled pellets generated [kg]
