Project Overview

Over the course of this semester, team 23 disassembled and re-assembled a Daiwa Baitcast Reel (Right Hand Retrieve). The main objective of this project was to carefully, analyze the reel, which includes the documentation of the internal parts so that any individual, regardless of prior experience, may also take it apart with ease. We also looked into its internal workings and all the mechanisms that are involved when the product is being used out in the field. The whole project was thus divided into Gates, each dealing with a level of the project. Lastly, after each assessment of our Gates, we attempted amending the Gates to better suite the needs of the instructors.

Gate 1

This gate mainly dealt with the overall planning of the project. Furthermore, the products initial assessment was made without any attempt to disassemble it. This gate includes:

• Work Proposal
• Management Proposal
• Product Archeology

Gate 1: Work and Management Proposal, Product Archeology

Gate 2

This gate dealt with the first practical work involved with the project, that is, the taking apart of the product along with its documentation. The subsystems were recognized and pictorial representation was used to help understand the step-by-step disassembly process. Also, the initial planning of the project was revised. This gate included:

• Revision of Initial Planning
• Product Dissection

Gate 2: Dissection of the Reel

Gate 3

This gate includes the in-depth analysis of the product, its subsystems; how they were manufactured and their specifications. Furthermore, design revisions and four factors were taken into consideration as well, and lastly, includes CAD drawings for some of the subsystems.

• Project Management
• Product Archeology and Assessment

Gate 3: Product Assessment and In-depth Analysis
