Problem Statement


The purpose of this wrench is to make it easier to assemble and remove the fuel pump from a VP-44 Cummins ISB 24-valve diesel engine. This would improve the efficiency and frustration of working on these engines.

Updated Assumptions


The wrenches will be used at a constant rate of 1 rad/s, will accept 15mm bolts, are no longer than 10 inches, and are made of a Chromium Vanadium alloy drop forged and plated in chrome.

Lessons Learned

I learned that that it is important to think about the bigger picture, I made the mistake of thinking too narrowly
which made making three concepts very detail oriented making this assignment unnecessarily difficult. If I were to
change something I would have been less specific with my concepts in the second assignment.

To Advisee Antonio Kraychete

Overall very good job, the presentation is clear, simple, and to the point. Maybe you could make your Description under your
decision matrix a little less wordy or display it in a way that is easier on the eye.

To Advisee Daniel Todd

The organization of your website is very good, simple and to the point. Maybe next time you could make your design images
larger I had to open them in a separate tab to read the descriptions. Consider elaborating more on your descriptions.
