Engine Emissions Testing Facility Layout A Presentation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For Program and Project Management/ Capstone Spring Semester 2009
Arctic Cat Overview • Located in Thief River Falls, MN • The company was founded in 1961as Polar Machines (check this) • Changed it’s name to “ “ in 1962 • Finally changed its name to Arctic Cat in 1996
Products • Snowmobiles • ATVs • UTVs
Client Contact • Glen H. Martin III • Emissions Manager • Del Nelson • Project Engineer, ATV
Problems/Needs • Problem – • The current facility/layout doesn’t accommodate for full chassis emission testing. • Needs –
Project Objective • The purpose of this project is to analyze the current engine emission testing facility and develop proposals that can help with increased testing throughput and potential inclusion of chassis testing. Another objective of the project is to develop a new layout that can accommodate the increased demand for emission testing of engines and introduction of chassis emission testing.
Project Team Deliverables • Document and analyze the current emission testing facility, including product and information flow, equipment use and utilization, and support systems. • Develop proposals to modify the current facility and explore alternatives that will accommodate increased testing demand and the inclusion of chassis emission testing requirements. • Documentation of benefits that may result from implementing proposed suggestions. • An outline of recommendations for future projects and improvements.
Current Status • We have currently already gone to Arctic a few times and looked at several alternative facility locations. • We need to look into what is/isn’t required for the new emission regulations • Currently developing ideas for alternative chassis testing units and room configurations.
