|
Best score on dfa workshet |
104 |
|
For better dfa, minimize |
component count use of seperate fasteners Tangling nesting flexibility |
|
for better dfa, avoid |
base repositioning component characteristics that complicate retrieval |
|
for better dfa, design: |
With a base component for locating others with an efficient assembly sequence for specific types of retrieval for symmetry non symmetric parts to be clearly nonsymmetric all parts from same direction using chamfers, leads and compliance maximum component accessibility |
|
Precedence: |
COnnection A must be before connection B Connections diagram |
|
dfa influences design by |
encouraging fewer parts, each one possibly more complicated |
|
dfa may result in |
more expensive tooling |
|
dfa most appropriate for |
mass produced products |
|
Habits of thought for math modeling |
Ask why do we need it how will it be used what specifically do we want to find what data is given what can be assumed how should we develop it what physical prinicples to apply what will it predict are the predictions valid can we verify it can we improve it |
|
Dimensions and units |
keep them consistent, and in the same net dimenstions |
|
mathematical models are: |
physical idealizations of systems |
|
models developed to |
increase understanding of how a system works |
|
design = system defined by: |
geometric configurations, materials used and tasks being performed |
|

FMEA |
Systematic approach to identify and prioritize risks of potential failure modes and prioritizing risk minimization efforts |
|
FMEA goals |
eliminate or minimize failure modes design for safety focus on quality of design |
|
Severity |
how serious a failure is, low s means no effect on customer, high s means youve probably killed them you imbecile |
|
occurence |
the likelihood of a failure occuring |
|
detectability |
likelihood that current controls keep a failure from reaching the customer |
|
RPN |
Risk Priority Number = Detectability * Occurence * Severity |
|
fmea step 1 |
describe with p diagram |
|
fmea step 2 |
id failure modes (how is it not reaching design intent) |
|
fmea step 3 |
describe the effects of failures (result on the customer) |
|
fmea step 4 |
Determine causes for failure (action or inaction caused by design |
|
fmea step 5 |
describe the controls on the process |
|
fmea step 6 |
rate severity, occurence, detection on a 1-5 scale, compute Rpn |
|
fmea step 7 |
propose and take action
|
|
