Product Improvement and Advanced Production Engineering of the M550 Fuze
Abstract
The objective of the program was to design, develop, fabricate and debug a prototype M550 Fuze assembly line that will be capable, when balanced, of producing 250,000 fuzes per month on a 1-8-5 shift basis. This contract did not require that the line be balanced for a true 1-8-5 shift basis at this time. The prototype line was acquired and installed, with production beginning on a separate contract almost immediately. Appendices are included covering a verbal description of each machine's function; a sample purchase description; listing of operation and maintenance manuals, and a list of drawings for the assembly and test machines; operating instructions for the test machines; and a comment on automated line production through February 1974 and suggested improvements.
