Swarm Event Data Collection
From April 2014 Swarm Build -
DAY 3 - build notes and process improvement notes.
1. Andrew - replicate , needs docs, feels short on documentation. Couldn't get all out of CAD
2. Scott - impressed on attention to detail. Super appreciative of diligence. Amazing so thanks. 3. Devin - attention to safety lacking. Safety lacking - weld flash + spark in eye. Curtains. Comprehensive plan for workflow, weld safety, sparks. Otherwise great. 4. Safety talk - welding, welding, cutting. Set up locations properly. 4. Rob - confused about best place to do documentation. Solution: clear protocol. Clear printouts etc. make it low tech to document - 5. Trovebox falls short. 6. Kyle rutty - wishes we were further, but quality control was there. Frame and cylinder alignment crazy time was worthwhile. Missed program and wiring. 7. Dustin - likes we made a lot of mistakes. 8. Tyler - likes it that I left it to crew to do it. 9. Catarina - balance of speed vs. quality. 2 day instead of 1 day. 10. Kyle - no experience with tools, so good. 11. Andre - more rigor of prep. 12. Prep - tools grinder, space, instructions. Predicted time. Core routing. 13. Max - great for so many people, but too much at times. 14. Anthony - major learning - if it takes longer for several peep to do it, it's too long. 15. Andre - develop trust, common language of helping. 16. Explain dynamic of authority - who calls the shots 17. Anthony - Explicit instruction - can't 18. Standard procedures. 19. Graphics and animations. 20. Balsa model - scale model - requirement 21. Scale metal models. 22. Pairs rule - not 3 or 4. Save 3 or 4 for learning day. 23. File - start with all laid out then people pull from a file. 24. Multiple packs 25. Crossover parts- put it in file - for parts not done 26. Package of drawings. 27. Perspective - such as 1/2" gap. 28. Acceptable tolerances. Ex - roughly 90 degrees 29. Tolerancing 30. Etch part number in piece 31. F1 : frame part 1; drawer 1 - d1 32. Define convention for orientation 33. Define cuttt list 34. Work flow + materials flow 35 tighten down notch fit - very accurate 36. Devin nut welding - better ventilation - warning - plain nuts we
