The
staff forwards the request to a governing body.
The governing body locates a resource for developing the proposed standard or
a rule within an existing standard. This resource can be inside or outside the
organization.
The written proposal is evaluated by the governing body. It may be sent out for
a second opinion.
The proposal is voted on by members of the association.
The standard is developed by the selected resource.
The standard is voted on by the members of the association.

With reference to the introductory first week's lecture for this module and the
diagram titled 'Manufacturing Systems' answer true or false to the following:
Manufacturing systems in a factory are all encompassing for the efficient
management of the operations including the supply chain of materials, maintaining
product quality and managing the loading of factory resources.
True
False

a. Currently, you serve as a robotic engineer by a company, and your boss want you
to design a robot in spatial space to satisfy the following conditions:
i. Max reachable distance of the robot is 1 meter.
ii.
Only using revolute joints, connecting links and rigid load bearing links
(the length of link is 0.5m).
iii. The degree of freedom (Dof) of the robot is 2.
What is your design, how many joints and links will you use?
b. The payload of your design is 10 kg (each load bearing link can hold 5 kg, 5 kg+5
kg=10kg, the weight and payload of the connecting links will be ignored), but
your boss wants your designed robots to handle 20 kg payload. How will you
update your current design, and how many joints and links will you use in the
new design? What is the Dof of the new designed robot.

System Specification
Task 1 is to complete the development of a simple simulated 2-wheel drive mobile robot platform.
You will need to research suitable actuators and platform designs. From review of your research then produce
a specification and model of the platform to hold the proposed processor unit (myRIO), and actuators together
(your chosen motors from selection available) with a battery (Hardware datasheets on BB).

Three machines are used in a group-technology cell to process a family of five parts. Thetable below lists production quantities (Qj), production times (Tpij), and machine fractionsfor each family member (fij). Part E requires a changeover time of 5 min on each machine soit is produced in batches of 5 parts. Nonoperation times (Tno) are the same for all parts andmachines: 25 min per machine. Determine (a) average hourly production rate for the cell,(b) utilization of each machine and average utilization of the cell, (c) manufacturing leadtime, and (d) work-in-process. A spreadsheet calculator is recommended for this problem

Problem 3: A small gearing system in your brand-new 3D printer fails as you were printing,
leading to an overload in the motor and a fire in your home. The fire spreads, burning half of
Everglades National Park in the worst environmental disaster in US history.
The printer company blames you! Stating that you must have been misusing the printer some-
how. Use your engineering knowledge to "show those jerks you mean business!"
You investigate and find a serial number on the gears and type it into Google, finding the
company that manufactures the gears. Their website provides some info that this series of gear is
made from AISI 4340 steel and the yield strength is 125 kpsi.
Assuming each gear tooth acts as a small cantilever, prove to the 3D printer company that they
are liable for the fire.
