MANUFACTURING METHODS Pistons have been used by man for 100’s of years now, for different purposes (started with pumping). The concept of engine pistons came later, and that required the piston’s quality to change and hence the methods of manufacturing them had to be changed. Pistons have been manufactured all these years for automobiles by the use of subtractive manufacturing methods. A casted Aluminium or steel piston would be machined to the required surface finish, followed by forging Aluminium

to changes in technology. “Technology makes it easier to outsource business activities to other countries with less expensive labor, leading to a loss in domestic jobs” (). Small companies can also be affected by technology in terms of cost. Manufacturing companies are also affected with the development of new robotic equipment. In some instances, new robotics in these companies

effectiveness, the practicality and ease of manufacturing are basic considerations for a product. A product too complex and demanding will require a longer production time, be susceptible to more errors, require more maintenance and also take longer to assemble and disassemble in case of trouble shooting for errors. This background is what actually results in the need of Design For Manufacture (DFM) and Design For Assembly (DFA). DFM provides the simplicity of manufacturing of parts that will form a product

kinds of gadgets. Hence when it came to take undergraduate studies, Mechanical engineering was the only natural choice. Prompted by my undergraduate education in mechanical engineering at highly reputed VIT University, Vellore where subjects like Manufacturing Processes, Industrial management and Operation research instilled in me a desire to delve deeper into the various specialties of mathematics and statistics. Over time I began to develop a penchant over these courses which had project components

There are always reasons for improvements and most of the time you improve to be more productive. An MRP is done mostly because the demand for the product increases. If done correctly this could lead to a huge profit for the company. The MRP will help control the inventory while also scheduling the proper resources for productivity. The MRP will need to be improved if they are to meet the demand of part 3079. One of the biggest improvements that can be made is to concentrate on part 3079. The

In last 25 years many companies are adopting Six Sigma methodology as a process excellence tool. Few of them are GE, Motorola, Siemens, ABB, Citi Bank, Ford etc. Many Japanese and Korean companies like LG, Toshiba, Honda, Sony and Samsung have also implemented Six Sigma. In India many companies are implementing Six Sigma. Wipro, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata motors, Larsen & Toubro, HDFC are some of them. Due to globalization world market is opened to Indian organizations and to compete with other countries

1.0 Introduction This report includes the recommendation process strategy which will be appropriate for the Peddle and Power: E-Bike and the risks using it.

3D Printing China This is a study about economic factors affecting Chinese production from the imputation of 3D printing. 3D printing or additive manufacturing is the process of making a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by laying down many successive thin layers of a material such as plastic. Increasing application of 3D printing particularly in consumer goods is expected to drive market growth over the next few years. Additionally, declining costs of 3D printers
