    This investigation analyses spotlight components to reduce the necessary amount and explore the potential to enhance the sustainable design. The DFMA and Sustainability design considerations for manufacturing assemblies were used and incorporated in this work. DFMA outcome displays that components were reduced while the LCA showed that weight, carbon footprint, acidification of the air, water eutrophication and overall energy consumption were reduced. This new approach is essential for demonstrating the efficiency of both tools used to reduce the cost of spotlight manufacture and enhance the sustainable aspects of product design.

    This research presents the optimum efficiency improvement of process flow by redesigned the production layout using facility planning methods in a company producing traditional cakes which are bahulu that currently have bottleneck issue, inefficient flow and unnecessary excess movement between activities. The objectives of this study to improve the current plant layout by redesigned it with increasing the production efficiency and productivity of the company. To achieve this aim, there are several layouts generated using Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) and Graph-Based Theory (GBT) and the Efficiency Rate (ER) of each layout was calculated. The layout with the highest rate was then selected and validated by using WITNESS software. The result showed that the ER of the selected layout improved from 74.49% to 93.40% and also increased the productivity and reduced the processing time up to 10%. The described case study will show how the efficiency and productivity of a real manufacturing system can be improved by redesign layout.

    A solar car is a lightweight, low power vehicle designed and built with a single purpose in mind–racing with and only drive during the day. It has limited seating (one or two peoples) and usually has very little cargo capacity. However, it offers an excellent opportunity to develop future technologies that can be applied to practical applications. This study will focus on design and analysis solar car chassis part. The primary challenge in developing an effective solar car chassis is to maximize strength and safety while minimizing the weight. Every extra pound requires more energy to move down the road. However, safety is a primary concern and the chassis must meet stringent strength and safety requirements. The purpose of the study is to understand the concept design of solar car chassis in terms of calculation, material selection, chassis style selection and virtual analysis for chassis using CATIA software.

    This research focuses on the design and fabrication of a jig and fixture to optimize the assembly process of panel pins for a car side mirror power motor. The current manual assembly method is inefficient, time-consuming, prone to frequent errors, and results in material wastage. To address these challenges, the study aims to develop a jig and fixture that enhances efficiency, reduces cycle time, and improves ergonomics. The methodology encompasses data collection, concept generation, CAD modeling using SolidWorks, and precision machining for prototype fabrication. Key analyses include time study, cost evaluation, and ergonomic assessment. The results reveal a significant 50.82% reduction in cycle time, from 4:04 minutes to 2:00 minutes, resulting in improved productivity and streamlined operations. Ergonomic analysis highlights enhanced operator posture and minimized physical strain, while cost analysis estimates the total fabrication cost at RM 156.26, emphasizing the design’s cost-effectiveness. This project successfully demonstrates the potential of jigs and fixtures to address manual assembly inefficiencies, improve manufacturing outcomes, and serve as a practical model for broader industrial applications.

    Due to their low shrinkage and easy moldability, metal epoxy composites (MEC) are recognized as an alternative material that can be applied as hybrid mold inserts manufactured with rapid tooling (RT) technologies. Although many studies have been conducted on MEC or reinforced composite, research on the material properties, especially on thermal conductivity and compressive strength, that contribute to the overall mold insert performance and molded part quality are still lacking. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of the cooling efficiency using MEC materials. Thus, this research aims to appraise a new formulation of MEC materials as mold inserts by further improving the mold insert performance. The effects of the thermal, physical, and mechanical properties of MEC mold inserts were examined using particles of brass (EB), copper (EC), and a combination of brass + copper (EBC) in irregular shapes. These particles were weighed at percentages ranging from 10% to 60% when mixed with epoxy resin to produce specimens according to related ASTM standards. A microstructure analysis was made using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to investigate brass and copper particle distribution. When filler composition was increased from 10% to 60%, the values of density (g/cm3), hardness (Hv), and thermal conductivity (W/mK) showed a linear upward trend, with the highest value occurring at the highest filler composition percentage. The addition of filler composition increased the compressive strength, with the highest average compressive strength value occurring between 20% and 30% filler composition. Compressive strength indicated a nonlinear uptrend and decreased with increasing composition by more than 30%. The maximum value of compressive strength for EB, EC, and EBC was within the range of 90–104 MPa, with EB having the highest value (104 MPa). The ANSYS simulation software was used to conduct a transient thermal analysis in order to evaluate the cooling performance of the mold inserts. EC outperformed the EB and EBC in terms of cooling efficiency based on the results of thermal transient analysis at high compressive strength and high thermal conductivity conditions.

    For this project, it is focused on redesign the original product and analysis of the product, which is the Speedy Chopper. The Speedy Chopper was inverted in the year 2015. The chopper is primarily used to mincing, mixing, whipping and prepare food for cooking purposes. Firstly, the objective of this project is same as the original product which is to make a tool that can chop food and vegetables, user-friendly operating, to save time when cutting the food and to reduce the usage of electricity. As a redesign, the original product is on the mechanism of the product where the original product is using the string that needs to pull several times to chop the input in the speedy chopper. So, the new design is using a rotating handle mechanism, and it is reducing the quantity of the part from the original product. Besides, engineering analysis will be conducted such as the product analysis, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), sustainability of the product and cost analysis before and after improvement of the product.

    Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing technology which is used to print the 3D (Three-Dimensional) object. It has relatively low surface qualities that will affect the performance of the printed part. Thus, this research has been done to analyze the selected parameter effect on the quality surface finish of the 3D printing objects and find the optimum response of processing parameters using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). In order to predict the surface roughness, three parameters have been chosen which are layer thickness, print speed and fill density. The relations among responses and process parameters are determined and their validity is proved using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Then, the response surface plots are analyzed to establish main factor effects and their interaction on responses. The confirmation experiment has been carried out with the response optimizer to get the optimum parameter of the surface finish quality. Based on the results obtained, the surface roughness is mainly affected by the layer thickness compared to the fill density and print speed.
