Development of an Inexpensive, Automated, Spread-Guiding, System for Air-Floatation Spreading-Tables

Abstract

This report discusses the Development of an Inexpensive, Automated, Spread-Guiding, System for Air-Floatation Spreading-Tables . The report provides basic background information necessary to understand the nature of the production problems associated with moving spreads. The report uses Quality Function Deployment techniques to analyze cutting room needs and to determine how well commercially available technology addresses those needs. The report then constructs a House of Quality chart to distill basic technical information from the customers' requirements. The report describes how the HOQ information was used to develop and evaluate several prototype guide designs. The report provides a detailed cost evaluation used to justify the final guide design selection. The report discusses the design, installation, testing, and demonstration of the automatic air-floatation guide. And finally, the report provides recommendations for future development of the automatic air-floatation guide. Air-floatation, Spreading.
