May Production Plan

Strategy:

• List steps in order of duty – Power Cube to Tractor to CEB press
• Assess capacity required
• Allocate tasks to 6 fabricators and local shop
• List risks and recovery plans
• Assess daily, before and after workday
• Draw up personnel plan, detailed

Week Goal:

• Day 1: Power Cube Tested, 1 tank welded, 1 set of arms mounted, PC 2 Completed
  • Buy 2 starter switches
  • Buy 3 more 5-gallon tanks of hydraulic fluid
  • Buy remaining cylinders, hydraulic pumps and fittings, and power beyond fittings
  • Check on bandsaw blades -LMH
  • Test lathe for drilling, facing off, and fitting 2 fittings together
  • Torch out wheel mount plates
  • Torch wheel gussets - Thad
  • Weld wheel gussets to collars - Thad after Marcin
  • Get 4-set of wheels ready
  • Cut wheel chain to length
  • Figure out shaft design detail for couplers
  • Mount 1 set of loader arms

• Day 2:
  • Assumptions - motor mount plates need to be marked.
  • Risk Recovery Plan - have Chris specify and draw the mounting plates - as a priority.
  • Have somebody else do the gas filler holes
