Exploratory analysis has identified the following job as a problem area. Complete a flow process chart (material type) for the following engine stripping, cleaning and degreasing operation.
Engines are stored in the old-engine store room. When needed an engine is picked up by an electric hoist on a monorail, transported to the stripping bay and unloaded onto an engine stand. There the operator strips the engine, putting the engine parts into the degreasing basket. The basket is transported to the degreaser, loaded into the degreaser, degreased and then unloaded from the degreaser. The basket with degreased engine parts is then transported to the cleaning area, where they are simply dumped on the ground for drying. After several minutes of drying, the parts are lifted to the cleaning benches and cleaned. The cleaned parts are collected in special trays to await transport. the parts are loaded onto a trolley and transported to the inspection station. There they are slid from the trays onto the inspection benches
