Process Improvement Using Assembly Analysis Method

Abstract

This paper examines an approach to evaluate the installation of a product, by highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the assembly process. It also discusses the Assembly Analysis Technique as a tool for Design for Installation and discusses the merits with the help of industrial case studies. One example considered is on the subject of field-installation of a product and the second example is on the packaging and handling process. The case study shows the suitability of the Assembly Analysis Technique for installation and packaging of a new product.
