Background

Current archiving accomplished with large, expensive equipment

endogo® combines portability/simplicity with need for endoscopic imagery

Provides a platform that combines available imaging technology with the endoscope

Result: Compact, digital endoscopic imaging device, ergonomically designed to provide maximal comfort for short and prolonged use

Page 4: Final Report Defense 021509

Goal

Recommend design and assembly

process changes that will enable

production of the endogo® at reduced

cost, increased speed and higher quality

Problem Definition

Design effort focused on functionality –This project focuses on manufacturability

Metrics guide the project

Cycle Time

Metrics and Order-Winning Criteria (OWC) assist in identification of figures of merit

Weighting matrix resulted in metricsselected for this project

DFMA

Considerations

Page 18: Final Report Defense 021509

18

DFMA Considerations (1 of 12)

Part Count Reduction

During operation of the product, does the part move relative to all other parts already assembled?

Must the part be of a different material than or be isolated from all other parts already assembled?

Must the part be separate from all other parts already assembled because otherwise necessary assembly of other separate parts would be impossible?

Page 19: Final Report Defense 021509

19

DFMA Considerations (2 of 12)

Part count reduced from 92 to 42

Example: Display Mounting Ring and LCD Ring Neck

Injection Mold the neck and ring in once piece

The result, 42, is Nmin in the DFA Index (next)

Workstation Changes

Contain all parts on the workbench rather

than in the storage rack

Do not “kit” each camera in the same bin

Organize each part bin in order of

assembly

Mark bins with part number and picture bin

Order-Winning Criterion Definition

Price The cost to the consumer of the product under consideration.

Quality The perceived quality by the consumer of the product under consideration.

Lead Time The duration of time from the moment the consumer orders the product under consideration to the moment of consumer receipt.

Delivery Reliability The repeatability of lead time.

Flexibility The number of parts that can be produced on the same machine.

Innovation Ability An organization’s capacity for producing new marketable products.

Size The volume of the product under consideration.

Design Leadership An organization’s capacity for transforming concepts into finished products.

Metric Units Definition

Inventory Inventory Turns

Inventory Turns for a product is equal to the cost of goods sold divided by the average inventory value

Flexibility number of parts

The number different parts that can be produced on the same machine.

Distance feet The measure of the total linear feet of a part’s travel through the plant from raw material in receiving to finished products in shipping. This includes the sum of the individual routes of each subassembly. For example, if a plant manufactures a paper cup, the side of the cup travels 10 feet to get to the location where it is mated to the bottom. The bottom at that point has also traveled 10 feet. After the two are mated, it travels another 10 feet to be given a finish and then to shipping. The total Distance is then 30 feet.

Uptime percent The percentage of time a machine is producing to specifications compared to the total time that production can be scheduled.

Dimensionless Ranking Example

Five parameters form derived

parameters

1. Cost, $/kg

2. Tensile Yield Strength, MN/m2

3. Elastic Modulus, MN/m2

4. Compressive Yield Strength, MN/m2

5. Density, kg/m3

BACK

Page 62: Final Report Defense 021509

62

Most likely derived parameter will be “best

tensile yield strength at minimized cost”

Using previous numbering convention and

dimensionless parameter equation: m2 = 1,

m1 = m5 = -1, and m3 = m4 = 0

This produces the derived parameter:

Yt /r Cm

Part-count Reduction

During operation of the product, does the part move relative to all other parts already assembled?

Must the part be of a different material than or be isolated from all other parts already assembled?

Must the part be separate from all other parts already assembled because otherwise necessary assembly of other separate parts would be impossible?
