Global Re-Engineering Collaboration
PROBLEM
• Collaboration with Weir EnSci (Bangalore, India), Weir El Reno, Weir Houston • Collaboration with two other Capstone RCD teams: o Received parts list from RCD1 o Create BOM with vendor selection, part specifications, and item numbers o Pass on part specifications to RCD3 o Deliver final BOM to Weir • Communication with vendors to assist in critical part identification

Problem Description and Deliverables Problem Description
Weir Pressure Control wants to become an independent provider for the RCD. In order for this to happen, RCD2 is required to identify and quantify the consumable parts on the RCD, research the part specifications, research the dynamic specifications of the bearings, find and contact vendors and obtain part numbers for the RCD. The main end of semester deliverable for this project is a Bill of Materials (BOM) which summarizes the part numbers, vendor selection, description, and other important details.
Solution Drivers
Value Opportunity
Determine material specifications for forgings, parts, and seals
We are ensuring that every part on the RCD is being utilized within its limits for performance and safety reasons
Determine dynamic performance specifications for bearing systems
Understanding and assessing limitations of bearing system to ensure reliability of RCD
Identify consumable parts that are critical to Competitive pricing the RCD performance and develop a Strategic partnerships strategic supply chain for those parts Enhanced performance J.I.T. supply chain Enabled deployment Create Bill of Materials (BOM) that lists vendors with their part numbers
We are allowing Weir to select the vendor that best fits their needs for standard parts, competitive prices, assistance, and locality

Results
Outcomes - From dissembling the RCD to creating the Bill of Materials, we discovered a reverse-engineering process that utilizes part identification techniques based on industry numbers, dimensions and measurements, hardness testing, and vendor communication, and the value of this is utilizing our resources to determine the uncertain and to develop career sustaining competencies within business engineering applications. - Through collaborating on a project with three teams of four we learned that in order to retain connectivity throughout the project a new principle of engineering design must be established; all teams develop weekly meetings and communication systems and the value of this is improving the quality of our deliverables and helping us to develop career sustaining competencies. - From our weekly meetings with Jackson and Farrokh, we learned how important it is to develop career sustaining competencies by defining our own principles of engineering design, and the value of this is being able to learn independently.
