Problem solving
1) You are given the Nuts, Bolts, and Washers in separate storage bins on a working table as
shown in the following layout. Your job is to assemble them as shown in figure, after
improving the process and utilizing the motion economy principles.

a) Briefly describe the Motion Economy Principles you will consider in this case of assembly
Two hands must initiate and complete the motion at the same time. Also, two hands must not be idle at the
same time or when resting. Motion of the arms must be made at the same time; Eye and hand eye
synchronization must be present; and • Continuous curve movements are favored to straight motions.

b) Write down the steps for the improved assembly procedure clearly mentioning the
working of left or right hands

Both the left and right hands must be used simultaneously. With our right side, pick up the bolt. With your left
hand, pick up a washer and place it on the bolt, and pick up a bolt and assemble it on your bolt. Place the
assembly on the right side of your bin.
