CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.0 introduction about jig
Mass production aims at high productivity to reduce unit cost and
interchangeability to facilitate easy assembly. This necessitates production devices to
increase the rate of manufacture and inspection device to the speedup inspection
procedure.
Jigs are special purpose tools which are used to facilitate production like machining,
assembling and inspection operations. The mass production of the work-piece is based
on the concept of interchangeability according to which every part produced within an
established tolerance. Jigs provide a means of manufacturing interchangeable parts since
they establish a relation with predetermined tolerances, between the work and the cutting
tool. Once the jig is properly set up, any number of duplicate parts may be readily
produced without additional setup. (Sharma, 1982)
Jigs are used in drilling, reaming, tapping, milling and tapping. There are many
Advantages for using jigs in production. Jigs eliminate individual making, positioning
And frequent checking. This reduces operation time and increase productivity. There is
no need for selective assembly. This chapter discussed about the project background to
fabricate a jig and the more important to use jig in production. Problem statement,
objectives and scopes for the project including in this chapter.

1.1Background
Over a decade ago, the manufacturing industry has grown rapidly and has
achieved considerable progress in the field of manufacturing. Various parts can be
produced more quickly and efficiently than before. This is due to the manufacturing
revolution that facilitates manufacturing jobs where there is a new device technology,
high niche tools and modern manufacturing processes. Although methods jigs and
fixture have been developed, the basic principles still remain as clamping, holding and
locate.
For large-scale production that success is dependent on the suitability and
interchangeability easy to install and cost reduction. Large-scale production is also a
quick and easy method is right for a certain industry. Thus, the concept of jig and fixture
has been introduced and is widely used in large industries and for large-scale production.
This project is about innovation in the design and manufacture of jigs.. It will
start from the review of existing designs. The project was undertaken in collaboration
between University Kuala Lumpur Institute of Product Design and Manufacturing and
ERECT PRESSWORKS ENGINEERING SDN BHD. ERECT PRESSWORKS
ENGINEERING SDN BHD tense in Port Klang is a manufacturer of automotive
engineered metal parts through stamping, pipe cutting & bending, robotic welding, spot
welding, and sub & final assembly. During the complete development process jig, we

included conceptual design, manufacturing plan & approval process before
manufacturing the product. The jig is the need for multiple products to produce a precise
duplicate of mass production.
This chapter discussed about the project background to fabricate jig. This cooperation
we have been assigned to innovate a jig for the bracket is a CVT. Bracket CVT for a
national car at Malaysia (see figure 1.1a)

1.1 Problem Statement
At ERECT ENGINEERING PRESSWORKS is currently having a problem for
the spot-weld product. The product is a bracket CVT for a national car at Malaysia. It
takes a longer time to set up the product to the machine. Average the time for setup one
product is about 6 minutes. (See figure 1.2a)
Addition, the technician will also need to go from one machine to another
machine to completion of the product. This machine is also far from each other that
make it more difficult to complete. Average the time for a technician has to go one
machine to another machine is about 5 minutes. So, it's a waste time to take a long time
to this task. (See figure 1.2b)
Other than that, the technician should knock the product during set up and also
ensure product in the right position at the jig (see figure 1.2c). So, it affects to the
production line and takes a longer time to finish one product.
Besides that, the technician is difficult to determine the correct position to spot-
weld on the product. And this will cause the technician should take the time to determine
the correct position. The current jig at the company is not flexible to use and operator
must rotate the jigs to get the right position for weld.

1.2 Objective
1.3.1 Group objectives
Summarizes the objectives will be achieved or what the goals of
research or specific studies. The objective should be closely related to the
statement of the problem or can determine from the research problem statement.
Objective projects are:
To improve the jig design for easier to use by the technician.
The goal of this project is to improve the old design from the company to
that they have required and it can be easily used by any operator to
operate.
To reduce time during the work for the spot welding.
The goal of this project is to reduce the time as low as possible to the
time spent it takes to set up spot-weld jigs for CVT bracket.
To reduce the weight of the jig.
The goal of this project is to minimize the weight of spot-weld jigs as
much as possible. It is to ease the operator in handling the jigs.
1.3.2 Individual objectives
To prepare a process plan for fabricating a spot-welding jig for CVT bracket.
When I prepare a process plan , my task will be organized in the matter of
machine, tool, and software suitable, this will save much time once I start
Fabricating my jig

1.3 Scope
1.4.1 What is project scope
The project scope is the part of project planning that involves determining and
documenting a list of specific project goals, deliverables, tasks, costs and deadlines.
The documentation of a project's scope, which is called a scope statement, terms of
reference or statement of work, explains the boundaries of the project, establishes
responsibilities for each team member and sets up procedures for how completed work
will be verified and approved. During the project, this documentation helps the project
team remain focused and on task. The scope statement also provides the project team
with guidelines for making decisions about change requests during the project.
1.4.2 Group job scope
This project only involves redesigning and manufacturing jigs for bracket CVT .
This is because, engineered wood is much easier to obtain and lower in cost. It is natural
for parts of a large project to change along the way, so the better the project has been
"scoped" at the beginning, the better the project team will be able to manage change.
When documenting a project's scope, stakeholders should be as specific as possible in
order to avoid scope creep, a situation in which one or more parts of a project ends up
requiring more work, time or effort because of poor planning or miscommunication. To
facilitate my group is divided into three job scope.

The first scoop is producing the drawing. some of the elements Produce the
drawing is about the drawing jig design. The second scope is to identify the material for
making jig and to analyze jig design and the last job scope is to fabricate jig and to
prepare a process plan
1.4.3 Individual job scope
My job scope is fabricating spot-welding jig for cvt bracket. This spot-welding jig
will be produced for automotive part manufacture by ERECT PRESSWORK
ENGINEERING SDN BHD . Before making jigs, I have read about things related to the
jig. The first thing I do is to plan ways to facilitate manufacturing jig. In the completion
of the process plan, I have to choose software, machine and tool suitable for complete
jigs. After completing the process plan, then I started making jigs, jigs and test the
assembly jigs either work or not according to specification laid down by the process of
the plan has been formulated.
