Assignment 4 Hoopizzle Group: Omar, Amy, Madhura, Keith, Jenny, Eugene, Gary


  • By redesigning half of our aluminum joints (the more complicated/probablyunfeasible ones) we lessened the hidden waste in our design - getting rid of "muda."
  • To avoid processing waste, our group would make sure to go over every detail that needed to be changed or altered and made those changes to the rhino model so that we don’t have to go back because of additional things that we want to change.
  • By labeling all of our parts in a organized and legible fashion and by scheduling out each portion of work by day and location, we will avoid transport waste.
  • Since we couldn’t make the shop drawings before the final rhino model was completed with every detail, we had one or two group members finish that portion of the work while the other group members slept. Then, when the model was done, the sleeping group members would work on the next portion while the working group members went to bed. This basically got rid of all waiting time waste.
  • We have/will reduce motion waste due to our organization as a group. All of our files are in one place and all of our materials will be labeled and our process of work flow is already designed in the most efficient way we could come up with
