Development Of A Process Monitoring Tool For The Manufacturing Process Of An Electric Vehicle Battery Enclosure, Ian Lamond

Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering

High volume manufacturing requires process control that is responsive to manufacturing related issues. It is critical that tools and resources are implemented that gauge manufacturing performance and identify root cause issues.

This project focuses on the design and manufacturing process of an electric vehicle aluminum battery enclosure and the implementation of a production measurement system. The current problem is a lack of process control communication and out of control alarms when uncontrolled events occur for manufacturing associates at the battery enclosure manufacturing work station.

This report examines the core principles of Quality Engineering, the economic advantages of implementing a vision …
