WEEK 10 - MECHANICAL DESIGN & MACHINE DESIGN

Project management is done by Nihal and is documented detail here.

Project management is the discipline of planning, organising, and executing tasks and resources to achieve specific goals within a defined timeframe and budget. It involves overseeing the entire lifecycle of a project, from initiation to closure, to ensure successful completion.

Gantt chart

A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that visually represents a project schedule. It illustrates the start and finish dates of various elements of a project, such as tasks, milestones, and deadlines. The chart consists of horizontal bars representing each task, with their lengths corresponding to the duration of the task. Gantt charts also show dependencies between tasks, allowing project managers to understand the sequence of activities and identify critical path items. They provide a clear overview of project timelines, resource allocation, and progress tracking, making them a valuable tool for project planning and management.
We are using project management tools like gantt chart and Kanban board to manage our project.

kanban board for project mangement

Kanban is a visual project management framework used to manage work as it moves through a process. The Kanban board is a visualization tool that helps teams manage work by dividing it into columns representing different stages of the workflow. Tasks or cards representing work items are moved through these columns from left to right as they progress. Typically, these columns represent stages like "To Do," "In Progress," and "Done." The primary goal of a Kanban board is to limit work in progress (WIP), optimise workflow, and identify bottlenecks to improve efficiency.

We are using urumbu board modified by saheen and is documented here.

URUMB BOARD

We need to replicate the board as we require 2 stepper motors.

Took the required components from our inventory

Milled the board using the schematics from the documentation.

soldered the components exactly same as the reference board.
