Introduction Analyze components of a box fan through reverse engineering. Gain a clear understanding on how mechanical and electrical components work. Understand the Industrial aspect that goes into it. Though a simple device it encompasses many mechanical, electrical, and industrial aspects that took quite some time to perfect.

Mechanical Engineering Aspects  Process of Design the fan and what materials shall be used  Electric Motor as entire unit used in fan  Electro Mechanical Design  Switches used to control speeds  Fan Blades that allow best circulation  Overall Layout and cover

Electrical Engineering Aspects Process of creating/building the electric motor so it can pass regulations and all electrical aspects Electric Motor and speed and overall draw of current Quietness/Smoothness of the motor Wiring Layout to ensure safety and reliability

Industrial Engineering Aspects Process of integrating information, material, and technological resources to produce goods and services After box fan is designed and equipped by mechanical and electrical engineers, it goes into production where industrial engineers oversee Must be produced economically and efficiently Production goes smoothly based upon these details

Human Factors Ensure labor is available Decide on production lines and how many to run smoothly Supply and Demand, if there is no demand adjust production accordingly

Material Handling Ensures steps followed in labor is efficient No labor is wasted No parts or machines damaged such a downtime or maintenance Materials are available and at disposal

Layout Ensure that various aspects are located efficiently From production line 1 goes to production line 2 and doesn’t jump around factory Make sure cycle time is efficient

Optimization Materials, labor, and machines are optimized for use If 5 can cut it why use 20? Make sure labor is not overused Why waste money on so much labor when it is not needed. Brings up the overall cost of production
