Work Measurement DVD

This Work Measurement program explains current practices in work measurement, and will show how manufacturers are using it to measure productivity improvements. You'll see a basic time study conducted at Cooper Instrument Corporation and how MacGreggor Golf uses a work measurement system to develop standards and generate routings. You'll also learn how Cramerton Automotive utilizes work sampling techniques on an inspection and packing line, and how Kohler depends on work measurement to establish and correct standards for both direct and indirect labor. You will also hear from Royal Dossett, an expert on work measurement application and technology, and Donovan Young, Associate Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech.

Workholding

Workholding includes any device used to grip and present a workpiece to a cutting tool on a machine tool. To provide an understanding of workholding as a fundamental issue in the machining process, this Workholding program examines the principles of workholding, milling & machining center workholding, and lathe workholding. The Principles of Workholding segment covers datums, part location, the six degrees of freedom, the 3-2-1 locational method, and issues of reclamping or rechucking workpieces. The Milling & Machining Center Workholding segment looks at small-lot, medium-lot, and mass-production workholding options while detailing the use of clamps, vises, multi-vises, cubes, columns, tombstones, indexers, rotary tables, modular fixturing, pallets, pneumatic clamping, hydraulic clamping, vacuum workholding, and application-dedicated fixtures. The Lathe Workholding segment explores the use of 3-jaw chucks, 6-jaw chucks, 4-jaw chucks, 2-jaw chucks, indexing chucks, collets, collet chucks, between centers turning, drive dogs, face drivers, steady rests, and magnetic chucks and fixtures.
