ABSTRACT

In this thesis have to develop design assembly product using Autodesk Inventor and analyze the data manufacture and costing in production using TeamSET software. In making the several designs, it focuses on current design and analysis it and then decides the final design. In decide the final design analysis the result for machining and the process in make each part component like manual machining, auto machining, CNC machines and investment casting. This all type machining define from graph between the component cost and annual production quantity. In this thesis also analyses the assembly analysis, design efficiency, handling analysis and analysis limits. Beside that, it have to design for assembly and manufacturing analysis (DFA/MA) Summary to get the data about how many part, A parts, Design Efficiency, Handling Time, Assembly Time, Total time, Labor Time and design of assembly option. This also define the result for design to cost (DTC) Summary about cost for the product design efficiency, production quantity, production cost, cost pr production, tooling cost, total cost, target cost and variance. Finally from the all result, it shows the improvement for the product between current assembly design and final assembly design from machining selection, material selection and design efficiency. It also defines the ergonomic design for the product concept for the human in using it.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Design Improvement Air Pressure Plug on a method of Inflate in a Flatting Articles. This title is corresponding to the improvement of air pressure plug. Generally this product or prototype is an air pump for the motorcyclist. The function of this product is just like an ordinary pump in the market now which used to inflate the tire when the tire punctured or less of air. But with this product it will gives more benefit and functionality to the user. The most advantage of this product compare to the ordinary pump is save energy, time and mobile.

That designers should give more attention to possible manufacturing problems has been advocated for the product. The idea was that a competent designer should be familiar with manufacturing processes to avoid adding unnecessarily to manufacturing costs during design. This is the aspect of product design mainly considered.


(20)

1.2 Problem Statement

Air pressure plug in current design have some problem when using it, the problem that detected is;

1. The product are used on several type of motorcycle because the size to large. 2. It take a along time to make the product, just for one product.

3. It cannot filter the residue oil in the air pressure plug when the pressures flow on it to pump the tire.

4. To assembly the component it to simple and easy to leak when the air pressure plug function.

5. It not safe for human to touch it when it function because it to hot and take a time to reduce the temperature.

So from this problem, redesign the product and assembly it. Than analysis using the TeamSET software that calculated the data in analysis the fitting, assembly and estimate cost.

1.3 Objective of the Research

1) Reducing the number of parts

2) Design product to get the improvement result in assembles and manufacture for production.


(21)

1.4 Scopes

In order to design improvement product, scopes are required to assist and guide the development of the project. The scope should be identified and planned to achieve the objective of the project successfully on the time.

The scopes for this project are such as below.

a. Collect Data

Collect necessary data on the current air pressure plug and assembly design by conducting case studies. From the case studies, current problem, material and manufacture of the product are identified.

b. Analysis the Assembly Design.

Analysis for the assembly design and develop the result for design efficiency, material cost and machining cost were developed by the aid of TeamSET software.

c. Create the Final Design

Create a final design that development from many concept and show the improvement analysis.


(22)

1.5 Project Planning

This is the schedule in planning the project, before we start. In here we follow the direction way when we beginning the project and ending the project. The Project 1 schedule show the planning project for semester 1 and the project 2 schedule show the planning project for semester 2.

1.6 Summary

This section is about, the introduction about the product and project, then it defines the problem statement for current design and makes the objective to be the main point and focus product. Next the scopes that must be follow in research and develop it and lastly the planning from the beginning to the end in making this product.

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Introduction

In literature review have list about information that related with the project. So the information that has been taken is about combustion engine such as two strokes and four strokes. The plug location for each type engine motorcycle also include for this project. It also inform about thermal properties because the project related on higher temperature when in operation.

In main objective is to design improvement air pressure plug on a method of inflate in a flatting articles so in make improvement, it use the design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA). In making the design for manufacturing and assembly, it using TeamSET software in this project, in other software that also have a same function such as Boothroyd Dewhurst DFMA Software.
