Project 714 Case Study

I was tasked by Pauline to create a production flow chart for project 714, 758 & 908 under the UAV production. I was provided with a flow chart that was used previously for each project to come out with a better and easy to understand flow chart. I had to refer to various documents such as the CID, Capability List and the BOM to know the various components that are in the UAV parts. The purpose of creating the flow chart is for Milgate to put up the flow chart of each module being assembled at their assembly area in the company.

Project 714 is a project where the UAV manufactured are datalink variant. There are 2 datalink variant; DL1 and DL2. According to the CID, Project 714 has 5 print-to-orders PCBA.
1. FCC
2. Digital Compass Board
3. Power Distribution Board (PDB)
4.

Datalink Adaptor Board 1 (DAB1)
5. Datalink Adaptor Board 2 (DAB2)

Depending on the datalink type, the UAV can either have DAB1 or DAB2 in the fuselage module. For project 714, the UAV parts are manufactured by Alcotec which is made out of CNC plastic. When the parts arrive at Milgate, the Quality Inspector (QI) would have to do an incoming inspection on the parts. If the parts fail the incoming inspection, the parts are quarantine and depending on the situation, the QI would have to either raise a Defect Report (DR) or a Non-Conformity Report (NCR). If a DR is raised, the part would be sent back to the supplier which for the case of project 714, the supplier is Alcotec.

Project 908 and 758 are projects where the UAV manufactured are wifi variant. There are two wifi variant; 2.4GHz Datalink and 5.8GHz Datalink. According to the CID, Project 908 has 3 Fuselage Module; (-1) which is used for the 2.4GHz Datalink, (-501) which is used for the 5.8GHz Datalink and (-3) is used for the 2.4GHz Datalink which is an upgrade. There are 7 print-to-orders PCBA for project 908.
