Abstract

This project is about application of Integrated Failure Mode Effect Analysis and Analytic Hierarcy Process in development conceptual design jig and fixture for tie plate. The objective are to select the best concept design using propose a new integration of the FMEA and AHP so that can be used in the automotive stamping part (known as tie plate) manufacturing industry. This project focuses on reduce the number of processes, time, and labour by implementing the proposed integration approach. FMEA was used to identify the failure of jig and fixture, makes it possible to obtain a ranking of failure causes which includes several types of information (failure rate, non-detection, severity, expected cost for each fault). The recommended action of FMEA is taken and analysed to generate four design concepts by morphological analysis method in terms of sketch. The AHP take place in constructing the pairwise comparison matrix was used to determine the best design concept of the packaging jig as variety of aspects have to be considered in the selection such as performance, maintenance, cost, safety and potential cause of failure. The results showed that the concept 4 (32.3%) was selected as one of the best concepts for improving packaging process and can contribute to the reduction of time and costs as well as labor. By using design software of SolidWorks 2013, the final concept is drawn in the form of 3D modelling and the analysis is conducted to make a comparison between two types of material ABS and Galvanize. The results of the analysis show that the ABS is an ideal material used in the manufacture of jigs for the packaging tie plate. This research presents the importance of considering the integrated approach in order to improve the manufacturing process activities, especially in the automotive stamping parts industry.
