CAMO Paint Processing Simulation Model

MEMBERS: Andrew Templin, Sami Hamada, Jack Thomas

ADVISOR: Dr. Cindi Mason

SPONSOR: Spirit AeroSystems, Wichita, KS

Spirit AeroSystems, at the end of all production, must paint all the fuselages before shipping. For the Boeing 737, this process occurs at the end of the line in the CAMO Paint and Processing Facility (CAMO). Currently, it is unknown what the maximum rate at which the facility can operate. Spirit is not currently operating close to the theoretical capacity, but the assumption is that the rate will increase in the future. Spirit wants to know what the maximum rate the current facility can operate at without installing an additional paint bay. The our team developed a simulation model of CAMO, including all processing within each of the bays. The main goal of this project was to recreate the CAMO process accurately within Simio, the simulation software that will be used. The secondary goal is to adjust the model to various production rates to estimate the maximum capacity of CAMO. The simulation model developed will be used to better estimate the higher rates of the facility, and it will help determine if there is any need for an additional paint bay to match the higher rates. The model was developed to be as close to the original process while still maintaining enough simplicity to complete the project within the semester.

Ghungroo Bell Design and Manufacturing Specification

MEMBERS: Kyle Watson, Martin Barreto, Juan Hernandez, Prisca Kaumbu

ADVISOR: Dr. Cindi Mason

SPONSOR: Dr. Yogesh Parikh

This project was completed as part of the Senior Design Capstone course in Industrial Engineering at Wichita State University, in collaboration with Dr. Yogesh Parikh. The focus of this project is to develop a comprehensive manufacturing specification and model for the traditional production of Ghungroo bells small metallic bells commonly used in classical Indian dance and music. Currently, Ghungroo bells are produced entirely by hand using knowledge passed down through generations. However, the lack of formal documentation of this process places the tradition at risk of being lost over time. The goal of this project is to preserve the craftsmanship and cultural significance of Ghungroo bell manufacturing by creating a detailed process specification. Our team collected data through observation, measurement, and process analysis to create standardized documentation of the production process. The resulting manufacturing specification provides a framework that can help ensure the consistency and quality of Ghungroo bells while preserving their handmade nature. This work not only contributes to cultural preservation but also provides future opportunities for improved training, quality control, and process sustainability.

Labor Standards Distribution Process Study

MEMBERS: Jack King, Ernesto Esparza, Catherine Vu

ADVISOR: Dr. Cindi Mason

SPONSOR: Spirit Aerosystems, Wichita

The Industrial Engineering Department for the 737 line currently does not have a standard procedure of calculating standard labor hours.鈥 Inconsistent data from multiple sources have led to variability in standard hour calculations. This leads to challenges in job planning, scheduling, and inefficiency. 鈥婽o address this, a standard process using MTM and EASE data will be established using an existing Excel-based tool. This tool will be used to validate current standard hours and estimate standard hours for future jobs.
 
Optimize flow of Sandwiches at Subway (ALPS Management)

MEMBERS: Hayden Henderson, Dat Nguyen, Daniel Wong, Thomas Fleming

ADVISOR: Dr. Cindi Mason

SPONSOR: Kimberly Patterson

Subway at the Yingling Aviation location approved a project for 暗网禁区破解版 students to complete a senior design project. The project focuses on optimizing the flow of sandwiches at the specific location. The owner purchased this location within the last 6 months and provides free lunches on Fridays to Yingling employees. This leads to high congestion around lunchtime on Fridays. The goal of the project is to improve throughput, specifically to assist with Friday lunch.  This being properly implemented, the flow of sandwiches will be more efficient, leading to higher customer satisfaction and will create more revenue for Subway.

Over six decades, Dr. Yogesh Parikh, a distinguished Kathak dancer, has dedicated his life to the artistry of this classical dance form renowned for its intricate footwork and rhythmic precision. Drawing upon his engineering expertise, Dr. Parikh has collaborated with the ISME Department to design and construct a performing arts platform that quantifies key performance indicators of Kathak dance. These indicators encompass analysing the tempo of the bells, the force exerted by the feet on the floor, and measuring the height of the feet lifted. The primary objective of this platform is to provide feedback on areas for enhancement in Kathak dance technique. 

Siemens Gamesa WTC SOPs & Time Study

MEMBERS: Palmer Bo Miller, John Pulaski, Ismael Parga, Thy Huynh

ADVISOR: Dr. Cindi Mason

SPONSOR: Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy - Wichita Tooling Center (Paul Richardson)

For this project to be considered a success upon completion the 暗网禁区破解版 team should provide the Sponsor with SOPs and time study data for each of the tasks observed and evaluated.  The 暗网禁区破解版 team was given a list of key processes in the Calibration Lab that SGRE WTC would like us to focus on initially.  For each of those processes the 暗网禁区破解版 team should observe the activity, ask questions of the technicians to fully understand the process, and then communicate the important aspects of it in the related SOP documentation. Along with the documentation, the 暗网禁区破解版 team should perform time studies of the tasks for analysis and data collection, to be used in the development of production standards for each of the prescribed tasks.  The prescribed tasks will be observed and evaluated as they are being performed by the WTC calibration technicians, and the 暗网禁区破解版 team will track the tasks and the status of each throughout the project.  This status will be shared with the Sponsor and the Senior Design course instructor at regular intervals throughout the semester. 

The Life Cycle of Single Use Plastic Bags 

MEMBERS: Ayse B Yildirim, Tahsin Shafiullah, Kyndal Nystrom, Duy  Bui

ADVISOR: Dr. Deepak Gupta 

SPONSOR: Brij Systems LLC 

This project addresses the environmental impact of single-use plastic bags by exploring effective methods and incentives to encourage recycling behaviors among individuals. Given the growing concern over plastic pollution, especially from items that are lightweight and easily discarded like plastic bags, our goal is to identify sustainable strategies that can be realistically implemented at the community level. Our research examines behavioral drivers and barriers to plastic bag recycling, including convenience, awareness, access to recycling infrastructure, and personal motivation. We analyze various incentive models such as deposit-refund systems, loyalty programs, educational campaigns, and community competitions to determine which approaches are most effective in promoting recycling participation. A key part of the project involves developing and distributing a survey to gather real-world data on consumer attitudes toward plastic bag recycling. The survey results inform our recommendations by highlighting common perceptions, habits, and willingness to engage in recycling if appropriate incentives are provided. Ultimately, the project proposes a multifaceted solution that combines education, accessibility improvements, and financial or social rewards to increase plastic bag recycling rates. This initiative not only supports sustainability goals but also contributes to broader efforts to reduce plastic waste in landfills and waterways. Our findings are intended to be practical and adaptable, providing municipalities, businesses, and environmental organizations with actionable strategies to drive positive change in consumer recycling behavior.
