This book gives an insight on how an often-overlooked jig and fixture used as a manufacturing aid to produce a product to deliver products reliably and repeatedly with high quality. This continuous improvement project of a machining process was applied to winding cones used in overhead garage doors. The improvement was a necessity estimating the need for 43% faster production cycle (takt time) compared to the previous year. Hence, the main objective was to reduce the machining time required per part by designing a modular jig system, ideally with 12 parts per cycle. The critical outcomes of...
