Tiivistelmä
This thesis is a practical report on making documentation for sub-assembly production for the FD-8000 dental unit. For the company to outsource its production successfully, they need thorough documentation in form of working instructions. Some of the challenges of writing working instructions are possible lack of knowledge in the assembly process and making instructions understandable. This is addressed by consulting with personnel that know the processes by heart and trying to transfer the knowledge into words and pictures. The structure of the documentation is linear to the assembly process and should be easily understandable by anyone. Challenges to this method are the individuality of the processes, for example the size or complexity of a sub-assembly. The results confirm that there is still much to improve in order to make the instructions ready for outside use. Although sometimes overlooked, the consideration of safety when working and the overall quality is of utmost importance. Outsourcing processes are also researched to determine what to consider when starting an outsourcing project. Baudin, 2020, discusses many applicable subjects in Lean assembly as well as working instructions that have been used in this thesis.
