Jigs and Fixtures EH
• Correctly place calendar on vinyl with 2mm boarder
• Durable construction• Integrated stress
analysis• Ergonomic testing
with START• 95% product
placement accuracy
Jigs and Fixtures EH
Jigs and Fixtures EH
• Use training aids (manuals and videos) and job aids posters)
• Help increase productivity of employee and product quality
• Training aids and job aids made with consideration of needs of START employees
• Collaboration with experts in Curriculum and Instruction in order to develop training aids and job aids
Training Aids LF
• Analyze considerations of learning styles vs. disabilities of the clients
• Step by step use of prototype to ensure thorough training manual and video
• Training Video• Training Manual• Posters (Job Aid)
Training Aids LF
• An important goal of this project is to increase the quantity of calendars that are made correctly.
• This could allow increased profit or additional workers
• Economical Analysis to compare production of calendars now as opposed to after the implementation of the device
Economical AnalysisLF
•As part of the NISH AbilityOne Challenge, team will work with START to design an assistive device
•Device will allow START employees to staple calendar to promotional vinyl backing
•Ergonomic and Economic consideration •Training Aids and Job Aids will be utilized
help increase productivity•Goals to increase number of employees
that can perform job, increase wages
