![]() The influence of global economy has led to changes in the conventional approachesįor manufacturing companies. Finite element analysis has also been carried out with SolidWorks 2019 to validate the structural integrity of the new concept design. The redesigned model showed substantial improvements with cost reductions of 29% and an increase in design efficiency from 1.7% to 5%. The optimum design was selected using Pugh controlled convergence method and further tested for its structural performance using finite element analysis. The outcomes of the initial analysis were utilised to redesign the TTC conveyor system for cost and design efficiency improvements. ![]() The existing design of the TTC conveyor system was analysed using the DFMA 9.3 software. This work focuses on the redesign of a side flexing TTC conveyor system. ![]() There are three main types of these systems, i.e., straight running, side flexing and multiflex. TTC conveyor systems are extensively used by major food companies around the world for transporting packaged bottles, glass and cans. This paper presents a case study for an in-market Table Top Chain (TTC) conveyor system used by a reputed company in Saudi Arabia. Design for manufacturing and assembly is an engineering methodology that can reduce costs without compromising reliability, performance and time to market objectives. ![]() To remain competitive in the market, it is crucial to reduce the time and costs involved in product development.
