Abstract

Volvo Construction Equipment (VCE) has invested in an advanced lasermachine that can cut sheet metal parts with angled edges. As a result, thedevice provides expanded possibilities in the design and production of sheetmetal products.The material cost component is significant in the production of sheet metalproducts. This cost can be reduced by reducing the plate's thickness andchanging its dimensions.This study examines the effects of a thinner plate thickness combined withchanged height and width dimensions and a more robust weld joint inmanufacturing a so-called A stay, a part of the articulated hauler from VCE.The study was conducted with the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) process,product research, development, and R&D methodology, which falls under theoverall scientific, technical research methodology "Systems Engineering."The study's conclusion shows that material saving with a thinner sheet is at theexpense of reduced quality and product cycle life. In addition,recommendations for in-depth analyses have also been proposed in the study'sdiscussion section.
