- Fill according to it shift, A (7.40 am - 5.30 pm) and B (7.40 pm - 5.30 am).
- Then, by zone, A or B. For zone C and quality check zone there is no nugget diameter to be measure thus no check sheet to be filled up.
- Then, before starts measuring the diameter of nugget, inspector must make sure that the transformer and gun number are correct to ensure the test piece that needed to be measured is from the correct gun and transformer and also with the correct process.
- There are about 31 guns use in zone B welding production line for various processes, so there are 31 nugget diameter check sheet that needed to be filled up.
- Then, check either the gun (equipment) use either spot, bolt stud or stationonary.

Strengths
- Everything that related to the event being planned in a very detail way such as for the tentative of event from a day planning it been diminished into hourly planning then minutes planning. Same goes other things that related to the event.
- Timeline for the preparation of the event being prepared and followed precisely such as meeting and dateline for each preparation.
- Strong financial source as it is a big company event but still detailed budget also being prepared to control the financial support that being given.
Weaknesses
- A lot of instructions that been received from different bosses during the event is held causing confusion for the committee.
- Lack of commitment on the event due to commitment of work.
- Some planned things are keep changing during the event because of lack of information transfer and receive between leader and committee.

- Been assigned by En Akmal (QC Leader) to complete two projects.
- First project is an uncompleted project from the past intern student, which is the project require an air blower system to be installed at T-Stud/Buy-off workstation. The main reason of installing the air blower is due to dust that been produced by previous workstation (MIG). So, due to the dust that been produced, painting department made a complaint to welding department as the dust causing the painting process standard operation time delayed due to cleaning process of the metal dust. Piping system have been completed by past intern student but unfortunately the air blower still cannot be used due to:
- Sensor system not yet being designed and implemented.
- No design of the nozzle for the air blower.
- For the second project, the project requires a defect data based system that combines all defects data that happened at 4 department. Problem occur due to hardship of data of defects to be acquired between these departments as all data are in hard-copies. The departments are:
- Welding department (WE)
- Painting department (PA)
- Assembly Frame department (AF)
- Vehicle Quality department (VQ)
- GENBA session at T-Stud/Buy-off to get better understanding of the 1st project. GENBA done according to 4M (Man, Method, Material, Machine) requirements. Outcomes from the GENBA session are:
- Piping system have been properly installed.
- Sensor require to be able to detect incoming car body model as long as the body still in the T-Stud/Buy-Off workstation.
- Sensor must be able be function consistently for every type of car model.
- Blower nozzle must design that able to use to blow all dust in the car body model as the surface area that needed to be blown quite large.

- Joined 'taiso' session at Welding 02 department at 7.40 am.
- Preparing 3D drawing of nozzle from the sketching that has been done yesterday.
- Manage to come out with 3 final design *Remarks: All nozzle design not yet been finalised so for engineering drawing of each designs not included.
Figure 1: Nozzle design 1
Figure 2: Nozzle design 2
Figure 3: Nozzle design 3
- For nozzle design 1, the idea was inspired by turbo-machinery concept of centrifugal pump. It has 2 main components included in a design that are:
- Nozzle 1 Head.
- Fan Blade Wheel with Motor.
- But due to further revise and referring to engineering improvement PIC of welding 02 department, the concept of using motor to make a centrifugal nozzle is quite doubting. Centrifugal nozzle only requires air source to enable the fan blade wheel to spin then the other wheel will spin too, to suck up air from the outside to be blown out from the nozzle with higher velocity in a high pressure.
- After revising these feedback, the nozzle design 1 needed slight improvements and modifications.
- For nozzle design 2, the idea was inspired by typical air blower nozzle with some minor tweaks on it such as:
- For the first part, that responsible to receive air source was designed to have large diameter so it logically will collects more air before transferring it out of the nozzle.
- For the middle part, diameter of the cylinder purposely been minimized so that air that flow through will have high velocity with high pressure.
- For the final part, the part designed to be more wider but low in height to increase the amount of air flow out but in high velocity.
- For nozzle design 3, the idea was inspired by painting department air blower nozzle. At the department, it been used to blows air to accelerate the drying time of waterborne and solvent paint coatings. It increases the output air speed while maintaining the CFM usage comparable to a traditional air amplifier. The cylinders part that included in the nozzle will increases velocity and pressure of incoming air from the source then enable it to exits the nozzle with the same condition in other word it acts as an amplifier for the nozzle.

Figure 5: Nozzle Head for design 1
- Next, some sensor system literature review been made to gain information and made planning what type of sensor that suits to be implement at the air blower system.
- Project timeline master schedule also being prepared while literature review been done.
- Go home at 5.40 pm.
Log/Activity on 27-07-2018 (Day 37)
- Depart from home at 7.00am.

- Joined 'taiso' session at Welding 02 department at 7.40 am.
- Final check on all 3 designs of nozzle before 2nd review with SV En Akmal.
- En Akmal's review feedbacks:
- Design 1 is flaws. The concept cannot be applied in the air blower system due to inefficient air flow from source to the outlet of nozzle. The air flow velocity reduce due to fan blade as it collides and causing loss of air momentum. Other than that, the mechanical mechanism that want to be applied in the nozzle quite costly because it need detail work to make sure it done properly.
- Design 2 also flaws. Too much diameter transition (big-small-big) reducing momentum and velocity of air. Pressure of air from the source also may been reduced.
- Design 3 is acceptable due to logical concept/mechanism of nozzle. The cylinders that included in the nozzle helps to separate air flow into few channels in a high pressure condition with high velocity of air. However, the cylinders diameter must be a lot smaller and number of cylinder must be increased to get better outcomes.
- Design 3 improvement been made.
- Then, after finalizing nozzle design, literature review on sensor system been done to know what type of sensor system that suits to be use to trigger the air blower.
- Go home at 5.40 pm.

Log/Activity on 01-08-2018 (Day 40)
- Depart from home at 7.00am.
- Reach the factory at 7.15am. Report at organization/ company.
- Joined 'taiso' session at Welding 02 department at 7.40 am.
- Resume fabricating process of nozzle with sealing process of body parts.
- Using sealant urethane (being use to stick windshield to car) to stick the parts together.
Figure 1: Sealing process of front body parts.
Figure 2: Finished sealed front body parts.
- For the rear body parts some adjustments needed to be made. Some side of the parts needed to be chamfered to meet the design requirements by using flat wood rasp file.
Figure 3: Chamfered rear body parts.
- After that. the chamfered part were drilled to act as inlet of hose from the source.
Figure 4: Drilling process of chamfered part.
- Then, all of the parts were combined together using the urethane sealant and hose pipes were also inserted into the nozzle front.
Figure 5: Finished nozzle complete with finishing.
- Then, 1st trial session of nozzle at air blower system being carried out at the T-Stud/Buy-off workstation to know how effective the nozzle to be used there.
- Nozzle inlet hole fit perfectly for the hose from the source to be inserted.
Figure 6: Nozzle trial.
- Full trial being carried out included actual air source inserted into the nozzle.
- Some feedback/problems that able to be analyse from the 1st trial are:
- Nozzle body almost no air leak meaning that the sealant works perfectly.
- Nozzle body not burst due to inlet air.
Negative feedback
- The air blown from the nozzle only exits from the space between the hose pipes, not from the hose pipes.
- Metal dust not effected by the air blown due to low pressure and velocity of air.
- Nozzle too far from the metal dust to enable the metal dust to be removed.
- Space limitation between stand and car body model.
- Nozzle too heavy and no holder to place and hold the nozzle.
- Go home at 5.40 pm.
Log/Activity on 02-08-2018 (Day 41)
- Depart from home at 7.00am.
- Reach the factory at 7.15am. Report at organization/ company.
- Joined 'taiso' session at Welding 02 department at 7.40 am.
- Brainstorming session of sensor mechanism for the air blower project.
- Come out with two final design but may changes if any further improvement needed to be made.
Figure 1: Sketching of idea 1 included with negative outcomes that may occurred.
- For idea 1 negative outcomes, here a few details about these outcomes:
- No holding mechanism.
- Full blast of air will only after the body already halfway through the workstation.
- Material that will be used cannot be a solid and high strength because it may cause defects to the car body.
- The switch may not return to its original position due to heavy material use for the mechanism.
- The sensor mechanism body must be in correct and suitable dimension to avoid it colliding with the stand, car body and dolly.
- The mechanism may hit the body after it passing through vacant area only if the mechanism body at the height of the car body.
- All these negative outcomes were considered first to avoid from anything worst that will or may happened.
- Idea 2 consists more components compare than idea 1 due to concept that want to be included in the mechanism to make a better and more efficient sensor mechanism.
- For idea 2 negative outcomes, here a few details about these outcomes:
- Conveyer belt length have limitation in term of space below the stand.
- Damper may break if the material cannot withstand force from the dolly.
- Mechanism may not strong enough to turn the switch on.
- Spring may snaps/breaks due to continuous force from the dolly.
- Shaft may lose its friction with the connecting gear due to spinning force at from the gear.
- So, due to limitation of materials and components, idea 1 was selected as the suitable mechanism that can be implemented at the air blower and the works to prepare the mechanism will be resumed tomorrow.
- Go home at 5.40 pm.
Log/Activity on 03-08-2018 (Day 42)
- Depart from home at 7.00am.
- Reach the factory at 7.15am. Report at organization/ company.
- Joined 'taiso' session at Welding 02 department at 7.40 am.
- Proceed with sensor mechanism detailing for the air blower system project.
Figure 1: Sensor mechanism detailing.
- Preparing 3D drawing of sensor mechanism body frame.
Figure 2: 3D drawing of sensor mechanism body frame.
- Due to review of sensor mechanism, I found out that the mechanism is not suitable to be implemented at the air blower system because of inefficient output that is predict will be happened.
- Reconstruct and another brainstorming of sensor mechanism been done to get the best sensor mechanism that able to be used at the air blower system.
- Discussing with engineering improvement unit and new idea been proposed that is using limit switch and 5/2 valve system.
- Study on limit switch and 5/2 valve system been done to get better and clear picture on these two components.
- Go home at 5.40 pm.
Log/Activity on 06-08-2018 (Day 43)
- Depart from home at 7.00am.
- Reach the factory at 7.15am. Report at organization/ company.
- Joined 'taiso' session at Welding 02 department at 7.40 am.
- Sensor mechanism study and planning. Mostly referring to 5/2 valve and limit switch.
- Quality control at Quality Line (QL) at Vehicle Quality (VQ) department for the new model car of HRV.
- The new model needed to be in good condition as it will be used for launching event.
- Overall the quality of the new model HRV in almost perfect condition.
- Then, went to Engineering Improvement (EI) store at welding department to ask about how can pressure at air blower air source can be measure?
- Introduced to FRL (Filter Regulator Lubricator)
Figure 1: FRL schematic diagram.
- What is an FRL?
- Filter Regulator Lubricator.
- Air leaving a compressor is hot, dirty, and wet which can damage and shorten the life of downstream equipment, such as valves and cylinders.
- Before air can be used it needs to be filtered, regulated and lubricated.
- So, to measure air pressure the the components of FRL were separated leaving regulator alone.
- Regulator act as pressure regulator when there is air input. A meter attached to it will show how much does the pressure of the air from the source and it can control or regulate the pressure output depending on how much does a system needed. But to measure air pressure the actual function of it been manipulated by letting no regulating of pressure been done to enable meter shows how much does the pressure?
Figure 2: Regulator.
- The measuring process will be done tomorrow as the time almost reach 5.40 pm.
- Go home at 5.40 pm.
