2) Design Stages A. Stage 1: Define Problem

There have been estimations made which tell us that approximately 90% of all good technical products are not a success in the marketplace (3). Note that a product itself can be technically advanced according to function, materials selection, etc., but for many reasons the product is a market failure (4). Hence defining problem is the most valuable and critical task.

i) Failure mode and effect analysis Failure mode effect analysis is a team-based methodology for identifying potential problems with new or exisitng design(5).It is an analysis tool for evaluating reliability by examining expected failure modes to find the effects of failure on equipment and system. The FMEA is shown in table no. 2

ii) Quality Function Deployment Qality function deployment is a planning and problem solving tool that is finding growing acceptance for translating customer requirements into the engineering characteristic of a product(6). QFD is shown below

iii) Product design specification

The product design specification (PDS) is the basic control and reference document for the design and manufacturing of product(7). The PDS is a document contains all of the fact related to the outcome of the product development. Product design specification for the machine is shown in table no 3

Table III Product design specification

SR. NO PARAMETER EXPLANATION

1 Product title Sampre-6 2 Purpose To facilitate better packing of milk 3 New or special feature 1. High performance

2. Less power 3. Improved ergonomics

4 Competition All seal packing machine companies. 5 Intended market Sell to direct dairies. Secondary market will be oil, shampoo, sauce

companies. 6 Need for product Feedback from the customers has shown more interest in new features. Less

power consuming and high performance machines are strongly expected by customers.

7 Relationship with existing product line Very close and strong relationship with old customers. 8 Market demand 4,36,000 litres of milk packets everyday 9 Functional performance 1. Able to pack a 1 litre milk pack within 0.68 second

2. Allows easy handling 3. Able to consume power even less than 3.5 KW/ hr 4. Follows Noise pollution standards of ISO 14001 EMS

10 Physical requirement Materials: Stainless steel, Aluminium, Plastic, rubber, glass. Size : 1600 765 3000 Transparent front door

11 Legal requirement 1. Only Stainless steel and Aluminium should be used. 2. The machine should satisfy Standards of weight and measures

(Enforcement) Act, 1985 (INDIA) 3. No toxic material should be associated with milk packing and

storage. 4. The machine should satisfy ISO 14001 EMS standards

Failures and problems observed in old machines are – 1. Machine consumes high power 2. Film jamming take places 3. It has bulky gear box 4. Noise pollution is uncomfortable 5. Packing speed is low

Above problems are itself tasks for the new project. These problems should be eliminated for new machine. i) New product development

New product were seen to be the result of a proactive research and development (R&D) effort, with the marketplace viewed as a mere receptacle for the fruits of the development process (8). Good practice has been characterized by team-based organization and product champions (9) (10). Check figure no 1 As organizational success often depends on the timely and consistent introduction of new products, it is unsurprising that the new product development (NPD) literature contains many prescriptions for high-performance product development (11; 12) (13) (14-17) Few of the points are mentioned here.

1. Top Management Support for Innovation Principle - Assigning the best managers to the role of developing new products Action taken by company - Previous research reports that the project manager is the pivotal figure in the development process (11)and that project leadership critically affects both the process performance and the effectiveness of the product (11).

Figure 2 New Product Development

(18-20) The Company has given this responsibility to the manager who has given consistent performance for the early successful projects. The following skill are observed in managers in previous projects

a) The project manager had the necessary management skills for this project b) The project manager was able to motivate the project team members 2. Long-Term Strategy with an innovation Focus

Principle - Firms that have a good record in the development and commercialization of new products are more likely to have a well balanced corporate strategy with a long-term innovation focus (21) .The stronger the role new products play in defining the corporate strategy the more commanding role new product development plays in overall business activities(22). Action taken by company -For new product, the company recognized that a well-planned corporate strategy provides the building blocks for innovation, so that past knowledge provides the basis for new and emerging strengths. The company completely focused on the older version about the power source and its distribution in machine and not on the performance. The company made strategy for finding out the primary problems hence it focused on design. Therefore instead of concentrating sale of product, maintenance and service, company was mainly interested to find the top level problem responsible for secondary problems.

3. Flexibility and responsiveness to change Principle - Manufacturing follows an unavoidable progression that begins with product quality through reliability (always doing it right), and only then on to flexibility-adding variety and speed. Over the last decade, flexibility in production has become increasingly important as a means of gaining competitive leverage in high growth markets (23-25) .

Action taken by company- The Company works with only projects, hence according to customers’ requirement the projects are made and products are manufactured. For this reason company has already accepted flexibility concept and for model SAMPRE-6 company went through the same concept.

B. Stage 2: Concept generation

Morphological chart The morphological chart arranges the functions and sub functions in logical order, and for each sub function lists the possible hows (26). The morphological word means the study of shape or form; so morphological analysis is a way of creating new forms, i.e., design concept (27)check table no. 4

C. Stage 3: Evaluation of concept

Pugh’s Concept selection method - individual methods are developed for assessing novelty and usefulness of products, and then combine these into a method for assessing creativity of product (28). A particularly good method for deciding on the most prominent design concept at all the concept stage is the Pugh’s Concept selection method (29-31). The method is conducted within the concept and design phase during product development (32). The method compares each concept relative to reference or datum concept and for each criterion determines whether the concept in question is better than, poorer than, or about same as reference concept (33). Company work: Shown in table 5 Pugh concept selection is not used by the company because it does not evaluate the concept about its achievement.

D Stage 4: Product architecture

Product architecture is the arrangement of the physical elements of a product to carry put its required function. The product architecture begins to emerge in the conceptual design phase with such things as diagrams of functions, rough sketches of the concepts, and perhaps a proof-of-concept model (34) . Ulrich and Eppinger (35) propose a four step for establishing the product architecture.

1. Create a schematic diagram of the product 2. Cluster the element of the schematic 3. Create a rough geometric layout

Product architecture stepwise progress is shown in Figure 2, 3, 4.

A. Stage 5: Configuration design

In configuration design the shape and general dimensions of components are established. The term component used in generic is sense to include special purpose parts, standard parts, and standard assemblies or modules (36) Configuration design includes following steps (37) – 1. Review the product design specification and any specifications developed for particular sub-assembly to

which the component belong Action taken by the company – The Company has taken care about the following rules –

a) The machine should satisfy Standards of weight and measures (Enforcement) Act, 1985 b) Noise pollution standards of ISO 14001 EMS

2. Establish the spatial constraints that pertain to the product or the subassembly. Action taken by the company- Following constraints are set up

a) Spool thickness should not be more than 330 mm including core. b) Horizontal break up rubber should have outer diameter 450 mm c) Vertical sealer dispense should be up to 330 mm

3. Create and refine the interface or connection between components – Action taken by the company- Following constraints are set up

a) Cam and vertical shaft b) Horizontal and cam and follower c) Vertical and cam and follower assembly

d) PLC and actuator interface are established 4. Before spending much time on the design, answer the following

a) Can the part be eliminated or combined with another part? Ans. - Yes, most of parts are eliminated and common parts are used.

b) Can a standard part or module be used? Ans. – Yes, Electric motor and shaft of standard specifications are used.

B. Stage 6: Parametric design

Design for Manufacturing and Design for Assembly Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) are the integration of product design and process planning into one common activity. The goal is to design a product that is easily and economically manufactured. The basis of design for manufacture and assembly is a systematic procedure for analyzing product designs based on the application of quantifiable data(38).

I. Reduction of the total number of parts Principle-A part is good candidate for elimination if there is no need for relative motion, no need for subsequent adjustment between parts, and no need for materials to be different (39). Hence procurement and manufacturing cost decreases. At the same time as no. of parts decreases system possesses less inertia hence less power is required to run the system and friction also decreases. Action taken by company– the company removed the air pipes and the corresponding kinematic chain is removed. In new machine power is transmitted with the help of only one shaft i.e. one-piece structures and movements of valves is done by cam and follower. It is shown in figure 5

Figure 6 Cam and follower

II. Use of standard components – Principle – Costs are minimized and quality is enhanced when standard commercially available components are used in design (39). The high availability of these components reduces product lead times. Also, their reliability factors are well ascertained Action taken by company- The Company selected motor of following standard specifications. Power: 3 phase 415 volts motor with 1000 rpm (960 rpm) Load no each phase: R Phase – 1.2 KVA Y Phase – 5 KVA B Phase – 5 KVA

III.Design parts to be multi-functional. Principle-Multi-functional parts reduce the total number of parts in a design. Action taken by company – a. A floating roller is used which performs job of roller as well as it floats on support and pulls the

polyethylene film. Hence there is no need to introduce a new mechanism to pull the film for packing. Roller is shown in figure no. 7

IV. Minimize assembly directions (40) Principle - All parts should be assembled from one direction. This reduces the complexity during assembly.

Action taken by company– The Company had chosen the direction to assemble the part from top to bottom in a vertical direction parallel to gravity. In this way, the effects of gravity help the assembly process, contrary to having to compensate for its effect when their directions are chosen

C. Stage 7: Detail design

Only important changes are explained with comparison of drawings. The detail drawings are given in table 6 Table VI Old design Vs. New design

Old machine

Before After

Power: The machine was working with pneumatic. Hence total power requirement was 8 kw.

The new machine has single electrical motor (no 3). The new machine power requirement 3.5 kw.

Operating time: The machine used to take .75 seconds for packing one milk pouch. The pneumatic operation causes delay in operation because fast movement of components cannot be achieved.

The machine takes .68 seconds for packing one milk pouch. The electric motor has faster movements hence the components moves quickly.

Noise pollution: The pneumatic operation was noisy. It uses to make noise of air while releasing the air to atmosphere. The noise pollution was above 80 dB which is not fit ISO 14001 EMS.

The machine consists of only electric motor making considerable noise. The noise level is acceptable according to ISO 14001 EMS.

Maintenance: Maintenance of machine was 4 to 5 times per month because the entire system includes reciprocating compressor, motor and air pipes.

Maintenance of machine is only 1 to 2 times per month as it includes only an electric motor and cam and follower.

Film Jamming: The position of roller (no.4 & 6) was uneven and distance was longer causing jamming of film

The front positions of roller no.1 & 2 are brought closer to each other.

2) Supply Chain management More recently, demand management has emerged as a new dimension at the customer interface. Although it has become increasing popular in industry, it has not yet been analyzed in depth with respect to its impact on supply

3) Human Factor Design Human factor is the study of the interactions between people and the products and systems they use and the environments in which they work and live. This field is described by the terms human factors engineering and ergonomics. Different people have different body measurements that must be allowed for when producing products such as chairs, clothes, doors and so on (1). Measurements for 95% of the population can be obtained from standard ergonomic tables (42; 43). To be attractive for the market, a product must also feel good to use and have an appealing design (1). During the further development of the ‘ergonomics’ and ‘human factors’ disciplines, many new definitions of work appeared in an attempt to accomplish the different goals of these disciplines.

A. Name: control switch panel Primary task: Increasing reach of control panel and proper arrangement Description: Control panels are brought near to worker’s position. The arrangement of switch is changed to avoid wrong selection. Comparison of old and new switch arrangement is shown in table no 8

ISSN : 2249-913X Vol. 3 No. 1 Feb-Apr 2013 18

Table VIII Control panel switch comparison

Task Description Before 1. During failure of machine or for adjusting speed of machine

worker needs to stand up every time because switches are in vertical line.

2. As all switches are close to each other mistakenly wrong switch is operated

After 1. Switches are arranged at bottom level so that worker doesn’t

need to leave the seat. 2. For each head five switches are designed in two different

groups and kept away from each other.

B. Name: space availability for each head Primary task: Providing enough space for working on both heads. Description: Length of machine is increased for providing more space for worker. Comparison is shown in table no 9

Table IX Space availability comparison

Task Description Before Only 1420 mm length was given but 700 mm length is require for a human to work comfortably with each head.

After To make more spacious extra 200 mm length is provided. Hence each worker will get 800 mm for working.

Conclusions After meeting to the company and the customers following conclusions are made - 1. Defining problem is critical task. If problem is not incorrectly defined, efforts on subsequent steps will be

valueless. Design improvement on the basis of problems defined was improved considerably. The growth is shown in figure 8

2. Dramatic growth in customers’ satisfaction. Figure no 9 shows customer ratings

Figure 10 Customer ratings for their requirements

3. Strategic and technical factors in new product development have a potential to build up strong management base for new product.

4. Ergonomic impact was quiet considerable. Worker stressors were reduced. Operating with machine control has become fast and comfortable. Selection of wrong switch has completely not observed Estimated time saving 55-60 seconds/day which can produce 80 pouches more each of a litre. It means extra 80 litres per day sell is observed.

Estimated Cost saving: 1. 80 litres provides benefit of 2320 Indian rupees per day for cow milk 2. 2240 rupees per day for toned milk 3. 2160 rupees per day for double toned milk 4. 2960 rupees per day for buffalo milk

Total benefit per day is 9680/- rupees Acknowledgment The author would like to thank Deputy Manager of process section of ‘Mahanand’ Dairy Mr. Sharad Chaudhari for supporting the case study.
