Research Topic 045 / 200
Assembly direction resists recognition.
Similar parts and accessories install backward; detection relies on operator experience.
Three-step solution method
- Document assembly sequence, directional cues, and error locations.
- Use asymmetrical features, guides, and markings to make assembly orientation clear.
- Ask people outside the design team to assemble a test unit using the instructions.
Key Deliverables
- Assembly Process Diagram
- Orientation cues
- Trial assembly log
Verification Approach
Count reversed installations, repeated disassembly, and requests for instructions.
