Overview
The AFSLES project provided the Corpus Christi
Army Depot (CCAD) with a design and plan for an improved shot
peening machine and shop environment. This project was motivated
by an anticipated increase in flight critical part workload
within the depot and the CCAD’s Industrial Engineering
group was concerned about the capacity levels that the shot
peening shop could support. The KBSI objective was to perform
capacity analyses and to develop a shop cost estimation tool
for CCAD, so KBSI and CCAD could evaluate the current capacity
level, evaluate cost implications of in-house and vendor contracted
work, and ultimately support the designing of a machine that
could handle the increased workload at minimized life-cycle
costs.
