Manufacturing Engineering Objectives: Create product structure

Manufacturing Engineering Objectives: Create product structure charts, BOM’s and routing sheets Determine appropriate manufacturing process Evaluate product cost

Product Structure Chart “What goes into what” The product is comprised of sub-assemblies, sub-subassemblies, components and raw materials Lines represent processes or operations required to go to the next level Figure 3.1 on p. 46

Bill of Materials Number and name of each part Source of each part Title – number and name of completed product Separate BOM for subassemblies Example, Figure 3.2 and 3.28

Route Sheet Set of instructions to the plant showing how to manufacture the product Machine Time Operation description Fig. 3.9 and 3.30 (example)

Manufacturing Processes Refining and Alloying Casting Metal Forming Metal Cutting Welding Assembly Finishing

Evaluating the Cost Fixed Costs – not dependent on number of parts made Variable Costs – are dependent on # of parts Purchase cost of machines, installing, space Operator’s, running the machine, material Cost Estimating (page 70) Direct material and labor, overhead Overhead factor - % of direct labor

Refining and Alloying Properties often tested for in metals: Tensile strength Hardness Impact resistance Malleability Fatigue Resistance Corrosion Resistance

Casting Process of forming objects by pouring liquid material into a mold and letting it solidify See Sand Cast mold and parts Small quantities Specialized methods for large quantities, examples are die casting, centrifugal casting and pressed casting

Metal Forming Rolling Wire Drawing Forging Extrusion Bending Drawing and Stretching

Metal Cutting Shearing Turning Drilling Shaping and Planing Milling Broaching Sawing – Filing Grinding

Welding Electric Arc Resistance Welding Beam Welding Thermit Welding Pressure Welding Gas Welding Brazing and Soldering

Assembly Welding Gluing Riveting Screwing Force fitting Batch or continuous

Finishing Honing and lapping Polishing, buffing, brushing, tumbling Surface cleaning and coating Painting Plating Metallizing and Chromating

Product Costing Direct Material Direct Labor Overhead Using a planning sheet Other costs?

Evaluating Cost and Breakeven Total cost FC VC x # units Fixed costs: Machines, Jigs and Fixtures, Buildings Variables costs: labor, materials Compare 2 processes, see example on page 51-52
