Kit Production Ergonomics

Introduction

OSE is pursuing the open source economy, based on distributed production and Distributed Quality Control. OSE's paradigm follows the social business model of Distributive Enterprise. Social Business is used here as in Muhammad Yunus's definition.

Kit Requirements - Production Side

A solderless, quality-controlled kit requires these elements/preparation steps, which are all quality controlled.:

1. Workspace and Tooling
2. 3D printed parts
3. Wiring extended and all soldering complete
4. Electronics tested - motors, heaters, end stops, controller
5. Cut list: Rods cut to size, Heat bed parts cut to size
6. Bolts prepared
7. Packaging
8. Tools
9. Packing List
10. Quality control checklist
11. Serial number and online quality assurance documentation
12. OSE label

Ergonomics

Rod Production

• 11:11 to cut and grind 32 rods
• 5:30 to cut 32 rods
• 5:41 to grind
• Grinding time is for only 36 rods (most rods were cut-down to proper length, so only had one end to grind)
• Most rods were cut in reverse (from stop to saw, not from saw to stop)
• Included cutting of plastic-sheathed rods (no need to remove sheathing prior to shipping)
• Allowance to cut 1" longer than set point by moving rod to a different marker(filament holder rod)
