5.1. Working heights for standing work are as follows;

5.1.1. Light Assembly Work: 90-95cm (36-38”).
5.1.2. Fine/Delicate Work: 95-110cm (38-44”).
5.1.3. Heavy Work: 85-90cm (33-36”)
5.2. If the work height is adjustable then the working height is between 85-110cm (33-44”).
5.3. Horizontal reaches are maintained below 25cm. (Example: reaching into fixture for part)
5.4. For standing work a footrest should be provided at a height between 10-15cm from the
floor.
5.5. The task can be done directly in front of the body with weight distributed evenly on both
feet.
5.6. The lines of view are clear so the operator does not have to make awkward postures to load
or unload the part or see the necessary displays.
5.7. The design minimizes twisting and bending of the body and minimizes elevation of the
elbows.
5.8. The design allows the task to be done with either hand.
5.9. Forces exerted laterally are less than 15 lbs.
5.10. Storage bins are easily accessible so that parts can be comfortably picked, as needed
using either hand with proper wrist posture.
5.11. Handles have grip handle with a diameter of 3.2-4.5cm (1.25-1.75”) and designed so
there is no wrist deviation during use.
5.12. When placing the part in the fixture’s holding nest or die, the part fits properly without
any Excessive force required.
5.13. Displays monitored by the operator are positioned at eye level between 150-165cm (60-
65”) in height.
5.14. Balancers are fully adjustable and do not require excessive force to align tool.

6. General:
6.1. DEFECTS
6.1.1. If a defect is detected the process should stop itself so the defect can be
removed/repaired and the process restarted
6.1.2. Fixture(s)/Tooling are designed with poke-yoke to detect errors in the
manufacturing process such as, but not limited to: Missed operations from previous
steps, missing features/components, defective features/components, parts not
functioning as expects, process interruption
6.1.2.1. Section 11.2.2 of the RFP will clearly identify the poke yoke
requirements
6.1.3. The machine will sound an alarm and provide a visual indication of the error to the
operator
6.1.4. The equipment will retain the part and prevent its removal by the operator
6.1.5. The only method to release the part is through the use of a reset switch that requires
the use of a key
6.1.6. Key specifics will be provided by the ABC plant
6.1.7. More than likely, there will be more than one person working in the assembly cell
(this depends on takt time); however, the cell should be arranged such that one
person can do it. This will ensure that the least possible space is consumed.

6.1.8. Less space translates to less walking, movement of parts, and waste.
6.1.9. U-shaped cells are generally best; however, if this is impossible due to factory floor
limitations, other shapes will do.
6.1.10. Minimize horizontal work surfaces and tables between operations as these will
accumulate parts. These surfaces if required should only hold the defined max
number of parts required. The defined max number must be visual to ensure that it
is respected
6.2. DRILLS AND PUNCHES
6.2.1. All drills and punches to be equipped with a device that directs slugs and chips to a
removable and easily accessible tray.

the punch travel. Amount of adjustability to be determined at fixture kick off (1” is
standard). Punch units must be adjustable on a common plate with die plate
6.2.8. Wherever applicable (if specified) sensors will be mounted to check the presence of
tab before punching and presence of hole after punching. This sensor must be an
integral part of the punch unit so that whenever a punch unit is moved to meet the
checking gauge requirement the sensor moves with the punch unit and no
adjustment of the sensor is required
6.3. Fixtures will incorporate adjustability in all trim and finishing operations (cuts, punches,
drills etc.) (Typical adjustment of 1”)
