Investigate and evaluate potential cost reductions in wind turbine blade manufacturing equipment.

Description

Project Activities

Analysis of current high cost Tooling Requirement specifications assessing them to design, process and quality criteria supplied by business departments.

Based upon review outcomes create new versions of Tooling requirement specifications.

Collaboration with Global sourcing to meet with current suppliers and identify potential new suppliers.

Develop Manufacturing Tooling cost model into a presentable format.

Present cost model to senior level of manufacturing business unit.

Produce a full report for each tool detailing the entire process from conception through evaluation and to delivery, demonstrating the reasoning and factual information behind the cost model.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this project you will be able to:

1. Critically evaluate existing requirements and measure them against challenged/new specifications.

2. Design and present a fully detailed cost model measuring current state against future state.

3. Write a technical report supporting cost models, including recommendations to the business based on the results of research.
