 Hello friends, I am S.R. Dhulange working as an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Vanchen Institute of Technology, Solapur. In this video, we will be discussing on Inputs and Output of Process Engineering 1. Learning Outcome At the end of this session, students will be acquainted with inputs and outputs for a process plan and understand the planning of process. Under process engineering, the process planning is important. So, these are the contents for this particular video. 1. Process Planning 2. Industry Engineering 3. Quality Engineering 4. External Data Now, let us see one by one what is process planning. For an organization to manufacture a product that meets the design specifications, the manufacture of each component part of the product must be thoroughly planned. The manufacture of the product must be cost effective with added value and to be completed on time. Therefore, through process planning the manufacturing engineer is responsible for ensuring that the product is manufactured to the correct specifications at the lowest possible cost and completed on time. Process planning provides a valuable interface between the design and manufacturing function. It is also closely linked with both industrial engineering and quality engineering. Now, what is industrial engineering? The responsibility is usually to support manufacturing engineering is considered as an indirect function in manufacturing operations and for costing purpose is included in the planned overheads. The main focus of industrial engineer is how the work is done and improving this if possible. It involves method study, work measurement, plant layout, material handling and plant maintenance. Now, what is quality engineering? Quality engineering deals with the analysis of a manufacturing system at all stages to improve the quality of the production process of its output. The fourth is external data that is provided by either a machine tool manufacturer or a cutting tool manufacturer. Now, these are the inputs and outputs for the process engineering where the input is first is industrial engineering, second is quality engineering and third is external reference material. Now, industrial engineering has got two components, one is method study, another is work measurement. Quality engineering has got two components, one is capability study, second is process improvement and external reference material has got two components, one is a machine tool data from the manufacturer, second is a tool manufacturer data that is a cutting tool manufacturer data. Now, in this video we will be concentrating on industrial engineering. Now, here there are two components of industrial engineering, one is a method study, another is a work measurement. Now, what is method study? Method study is nothing but the best way of doing any work. Now, it can be defined as a systematic recording and critical examination of existing way of doing work in order to improve the process wherein it should be cost effective and it should be efficient and it should increase the productivity. What is work measurement? Work measurement is the time required to perform a particular task. So, time study is one technique under work measurement. So, where the time required by a qualified worker to perform a particular task. So, in this diagram we can see method study is relevant with the process chart and work measurement is relevant with the standard times. Now, process chart means making a chart based on a symbol or by using the symbols and calculation of the standard time is dependent on the observed time for each element of a particular cycle. Now, let us see what are the process chart symbols and what is the meaning of that. Now, these are the process chart symbols. The first is circle. It is an operation. Any operation which is performed on the raw material, any operation which is performed on the work piece, a job or task normally performed at one location. Could it be turning, could it be milling or any machining operation? So, example is machining of any material. Second symbol is transportation. So, it deals with the moment of the atom form one location to another location. So, it could be moved by manually or conveyor. So, here the moment of the material from one destination to another destination. So, in the product type of layout, the material has to move horizontally from one station to another station. Inspection, the determination of acceptability of an atom. So, inspection means what, whether the part is accepted or rejected. Now, how we come to know, it is based on the dimensions and the tolerances which are given on the product. So, examine material for quality or quantity. Next is delay. A pause or interruption in scheduled work. So, here the work piece is waiting for the machine and the machine is busy with the other material. Material waiting to be processed. Next is the storage. Scheduled holding of atoms before, during or after production process. So, when the raw material is waiting in store or the product is waiting in store for the delivery. Now, we are making use of these particular six symbols. We can construct any type of chart. Could it be a man-based where the man is moving? Could it be a equipment-based where the equipment is moving? Could it be a machine-based where machine is moving? Or could it be based on the material where the material is moving from one's destination to another destination? Now, this is a flow process chart for a material type. So, here six symbols are there and in all ten steps are there, we can call ten elements are there. So, let us see this particular process chart where all the symbols are given and the movement of the material from one destination to another destination. So, it is for an existing way of doing work. Now, just think for a moment and study this particular flow process chart and try to draw based on your intuition a flow process chart for a material which moves from one destination to another destination. So, you can include these six symbols in order to construct a chart. You can construct a chart for the movement of the material. You can construct it for movement of the equipment or the movement of a man. Now, in the next video, we will see the quality engineering which is acting as an input for the process planning. Now, the references for this particular input and output model is process planning by Ari Johnson, process planning by Peter Scallon. Thank you.
