Manufacturing industries have responded to the demand for goods manufacturing growths in today’s worlds. There are various new and sometimes drastic ways of producing parts. Starting from Computer Aided Manufacturing and Computer Numerical Control to current advanced manufacturing concepts like Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS), Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Just-in-Time (JIT), the manufacturing phase has undergone many revolutionary and advanced changes. These revolutions desire for more cost-effective and efficient work holding devices and method like jig and fixture. There are two most fundamental jig and fixture design principle that commonly stressed out which is simplicity and economy. This project is collaboration between a textile manufacturing company in Malaysia and Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. In conjunction of this Company-University Collaboration (CUC), student will be assigned to a task to improve the operation cycle time in their dedicated process called dipping process which requires operator to eject a batch of pins that attached to a base mold and eject it at the fastest time possible.
