So we’re building this new spectacular coaster Tilley’s Terror and the controls will be expensive. We want to layout our control box without wasting material, so how do we do that.
Quite simple, we use the paper doll method.
For those of you under 40, paper dolls were a kids toy where a cardboard cutout of a”semi-naked” (usually) female came with clothes that you could dress her up in. The clothes were made of paper and you could try on different outfits…..
Engineers use this method to layout things. If we were designing a new shop, we would have every machine have a scaled representation of it that could be place on a scale map of the facility.
You would then work with others to ensure that you had enough space around each machine and that the part flow from machine to machine was straightforward.
You would rearrange these until you liked the design and then implemented the solution.
We’ll we are going to do that for our controls box. However, instead of paper, we are using the actual components where possible. Let’s see how this process is done.
