Show moreIPRO 312 for Spring 2007 was initially intended to research rapid response manufacturing of casters for Colson Associates; however, as objectives of the company shifted course, IPRO 312 was left without a target of research. A new idea of pharmaceuticals arose as a topic of study. The teammates were determined to hunt for information pertaining to problems in the pharmaceutical field, but this determination was cut short by the realization that it is a very secure, secretive, and private business. The teammates of this IPRO were not discouraged by this obstacle and kept pressing for information. The advisor, Prof. Maurer, brought in speakers from the field and helped the class change its direction into what it is today: Comparative Industrial Operations Analysis.

Show moreThe objective of this IPRO is to investigate techniques for rapidly and effectively manufacturing casters to satisfy “rush orders” for special casters. Conventional manufacturing is based on part-specific tooling suitable for high-volume, planned production. Attempting to insert special “rush orders” into such an operation is very inefficient and expenses.

Show more1. Determine the amount of force to cut 6, 8, 10 sheets of 20 lb paper, taking into account the width and length of the shred. Once the amount of force is determined, develop a computer simulation model that can predict the amount of force required based upon the following variable inputs: number of sheets, shred width, and shred length. 2. Through computer simulation or prototype development, design an efficient gear train that optimizes the number of gears and minimizes the motor size based upon data obtained from previous semester’s data. The goal is to develop and simulate a gear train that can withstand 500 cycles at maximum sheet capacity. 3. Develop acoustical sound dampeners or “tune” the shredder to reduce the amount of noise created during the shredding process, leveraging information obtained from previous semesters’ data. The goal is to reduce the noise output by 10 decibels

At the end of the Spring 2007 semester, the work of this IPRO will lead to Arrow Gear operating more efficiently, allowing them to take on more customers, increase profit, and grow as a company. Specific objectives in achieving this include: ¨ Documenting current workflow and processes involved in gear manufacturing ¨ Detailing current redundancies and inefficiencies with Visual ERP 6.3.8 ¨ Identifying improvements needed with Visual ERP ¨ Determining benefits of upgrading to Visual ERP 6.5.2 ¨ Installing and configuring Visual ERP 6.5.2 ¨ Documenting process issues that still need to be addressed after the install

Show moreIPRO321, Enhancing Reliability and Performance of a Paper Shredder, is focused on designing a better, more reliable paper shredder without increasing cost. The objectives of this group, as set forth by the sponsor, Seth Lewis of the Manhattan Group, are: 1. To determine the amount of force needed to cut 6, 8, and 10 sheets of 20 lb. paper taking into account the length and width of the shred 2. To design an efficient gear train that optimizes the number of gears and minimizes the motor size 3. To develop acoustical sound dampeners to reduce the amount of noise created during the shredding process by 10 decibels. The team will seek to accomplish these goals through the use of computer simulation, extended research, and laboratory testing and error. By the end of the semester the team anticipates having developed a mathematical model that will allow for the minimization of the amount of force used to shred various amounts of paper, to have built a gear train that works better and lasts longer, and to have noticeably reduced the amount of noise created by the shredder. The IPRO Team’s goal is to implement all of these changes to create a shredder with improved performance, reliability, and life span without increasing cost.
