Abstract

SIMULATION MODELING LAYOUT PROCESS DESIGN FOR THE JET ENGINE LIFT MANUFACTURING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

A process design layout simulation study of a jet engine lift manufacturing system has been executed during the spring semester of 2021, in the context of an integrative student senior design project; by a team comprising one faculty advisor and two students, now graduate engineers, of the Manufacturing Engineering Program at Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, in collaboration with the MARMAC company, a custom job shop manufacturing company in Xenia, Ohio. The engineering operational factors that affect the factory production and efficiency performance at the local manufacturing company were studied conceptually in the context of the senior student design project. The faculty project advisor, the company president and the two students were involved in project goals and objectives clarification meetings in support of the process design project execution with due consideration for design requirements, iterative design solution generation and evaluation, engineering codes review, ethics, financial impacts, legal impacts, analysis, synthesis, cost, multiple alternative solutions generation, design trade-offs specification and evaluation for quality design solution attainment, predicated on constraints impact specification and satisfaction, The invaluable assistance and insights of the company president is acknowledged without whose support the project would never have materialized. The layout process design project involved the conceptual development and evaluation of three alternative layout configurations of the jet engine lift production system using the simulation modeling alternative layout evaluation framework. Modern manufacturing systems evaluation tools including the ARENA simulation modeling system and experimental design technologies (Using Design of Experiments Professional – DOE PRO) were utilized in the guided attempts to conceptually improve the jet engine lift manufacturing productivity, product makespan and process operations. Trade-offs relative to manufacturing cost, production performance, maintainability, reliability, serviceability, design for the environment, design for disassembly, manufacturability and service, public safety, health, and welfare of society were considered in the discussion of the design project alternatives evaluative matrix framework. Effect of several important factors such as globalization, offshore manufacturing, supply chain management, and related constraints including accessibility, aesthetics, codes, constructability, cost, ergonomics, quality, reliability, extensibility, functionality, interoperability, legal considerations, maintainability, manufacturability, durability, marketability, policy, regulations, schedule, standards, sustainability, or usability all in relation to the jet engine lift processes were also subjectively but not exhaustively considered. The engineering students executing this senior design project and others executing design projects of similar levels of importance are required to tackle complex engineering problems and apply the skills they have learnt over a three (3) to four (4) year period of their engineering training and professional formation, to implement the complex engineering problem formulation and solution, they are also required to address how and why their projects meet the complex engineering problem requirement of ABET criterion 3 outcomes 1 – 3.
