This final year paper report is about the design and analysis of jigs and fixtures for manufacturing process. For this project, it is focus on the perspective of the job handling to produce the part. Currently, they implement the manual handling to assembly each component. Improvement that is trying to do is by replace the manual handling for the process by designing the semi auto jig for this process. The objectives of this project are to investigate the collected data and analyse the design of jig and fixture to ease work handling. The methodology of research procedures covered on this project consists of collect data, brainstorming and interprets data, design concept, and documentation. The design of jig and fixtures is using Unigraphics NX7.5 software. The data that can be studied include the analysis of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using CATIA software, the analysis of design ergonomic, the time study analysis and cost analysis. At the end of this project, this research will be able to give understanding about jig and fixture, design by using Unigraphics NX7.5 software and finally able to do the analysis for the selected part of product by using FEA and other relevant analysis

The design of furniture products is influenced by increasing consumer interest in green products and sustainability values. However, although the demand for sustainable furniture products is high, the standardization of sustainability characteristics in furniture design has still not been achieved. A thorough literature review was conducted, which considered various sustainability characteristics that apply in industries that design furniture. This review paper aimed to identify common sustainability characteristics so that a new standard for furniture industries can be established. In this review, numerous themes were explored relating to design guidelines, design criteria, design preferences, design optimization, design evaluation and assessment, design decision making, strategic planning, design strategies, the integration of eco-design, and eco-design tools. A total of 137 articles were reviewed regarding their sustainability characteristics according to the triple bottom-line framework for a relevant product sector. Due to the limited reports on the sustainability characteristics of furniture design activities, this paper also tried to include common sustainability characteristics of non-furniture products that are available on the market. Through the review, 10 sustainability characteristics were identified for the environment, 17 for the economy, and 16 for the social dimension as being common among manufacturers when designing their products. A further in-depth analysis was conducted by mapping the characteristics to those that were significantly implemented in the design process, of which five (5) were environmental, two (2) were economic, and five (5) were social sustainability characteristics. This review is significant in helping furniture designers to use appropriate and effective sustainability standards in the design and manufacture of products that meet customers’ demands. Previous literature reviews have not clearly measured the triple bottom line. Furthermore, no definite characteristics were proposed in previous works regarding wooden furniture design, leaving a gap to be closed by future works.

For almost all injection molding applications of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic was analyzed the strength, durability and stiffness of properties by using Finite Element Method (FEM) for jointing system of wood furniture. The FEM was utilized for analyzing the PET jointing system for Oak and Pine as wood based material of furniture. The difference pattern design of PET as wood jointing furniture gives the difference value of strength furniture itself. The results show the wood specimen with grooves and eclipse pattern design PET jointing give lower global estimated error is 28.90%, compare to the rectangular and non-grooves wood specimen of global estimated error is 63.21%.

This project describes about the existing cordless drill by using the application of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) methodology, integrating functional and component relationships to minimize particular sustainability indicators such as energy consumption, carbon footprint, and a number of parts, required amount of material, assembly time and manufacturing costs. The method used for gaining the data is from the resembled the existing cordless drill. From the data achieved, it can be classified into several categories to be studied. Data would be analyzed by using Boothroyd Dewhurst method to verify the design efficiency based on manual handling and insertion time guidance. The tools that were used is CATIA software. The new proposed design of cordless drill is drawn by using CATIA software based on the result achieved in the analysis and the suitable material used for each part according to the sustainable requirement. Method to get the sustainable result is by using SolidWorks2016. From there can get the comparison different material use. The result showed that the existing cordless drill obtained. From the study, the total part, manual handling, insertion time and cost of existing design is obtained. Eventually, the improvement of new design cordless drill finally will be able to meet the requirements and satisfaction.

In this study, the analysis of the existing design of inkjet printer based on the result of Boothroyd Dewhurst DFMA methodology in previous study will be described. The product then will undergo redesign process, which the result will include the selected parts and the improvement data from the some components in the current inkjet printer also will be shown and discuss specifically. Once all the redesign process and improvement are done, the comparison for both existing and redesign product will be shown and described briefly too.
