Abstract

This paperwork contains the report of design improvement of a blender using LucasHull DF A (Design for Assembly) approach. The aim of this report is to provide optimized solution that better than the existing blender in market based on DF A guidelines after the design efficiency of current blender designs were determined through Lucas-Hull DF A. The current handling and assembly ratio of (Blender B) which requires improvement will be improved to the range of 2.5 to 9.0. Firstly the questionnaires regarding on the current blender design were distributed to the end users in order to identify the problem faced by them. The blender speci~cation will be then determined through obtained response. The two existing blender designs; Hanabishi HA- 30 18 and Philips Twist 170 I were selected and analyzed using Lucas- Hull DF A approach. The software for Lucas-Hull DF A approach, TeamSET will be used in aiding the analysis of the existing blender designs. The two blenders were compared according to the analysis result and it is found that Philips Twist 1701 model is overall better than the other one and marked as (Blender A). The (Blender A) was made as reference of improvement for (Blender B) which is Hanabishi HA-3018 model. According to LucasHull OF A analysis on two blenders, it is found that the part count could contribute to low design efficiency, high handling ratio and high assembly ratio. Therefore reducing part count is required in order to improve the design efficiency, handling ratio and assembly ratio of the current blender design. The illustration of design improvement is generated by using CATIA V5R16 software. From implementing this approach, it shortens assembly time of the blender parts and minimizes production cost in overall.
