software, further optimization is required by doing a series of testruns.Even for small-manufacturing runs, this approach can be applied. The performance baselinesmake a very good starting point to help use the machine’s capabilities fully. A well-plannedapplication of HPM can see a 50% or better cycle time reduction, increasing the manufacturingthroughput by a factor of two. The time expended in applying HSM methodologies pays offalmost immediately, since the performance gains can be applied to manufacturing processes forboth existing and new parts.Bibliography1.

This stems from the size and the nature of the problem itself. Unless aperson like Charles Sorensen5, Vice-President of Production for the Ford Motor Company, isinvolved in creating a plant layout using experience and rules of thumb, you have to repeat theexercise several times before getting it correct.Sorensen’s story of how he created the production facility to assemble the B-24 Liberatorbomber during World War II is worth revisiting to learn what can be described closest to amethod for creating a plant

airplanes. The production goal was to make 108paper airplanes in a half-hour period – a takt time of 16.7 seconds. Three styles of airplaneswere manufactured in each session: 60 of model “A”; 30 of “B”, and; 18 of “C” (Figure 1).These designs were selected for aesthetics; none were very good flyers. Four airplanes of anymodel fit on a single sheet of 8-½”×11” paper. Each airplane followed the same basicmanufacturing process: 1. TRACE. A three-axis CNC knee mill marked the outlines and fold lines for four airplanes of one type on a sheet of paper taped to the bed. A marker was held in the machine’s tool holder. 2. CUT. The outline was cut with scissors. 3. FOLD. The airplane was folded along the marked lines. 4. TAPE. A short
