This report presents our solutions for alleviating the storage inefficiencies of 13 inch electronic component reels at Iders, Inc. Comprised of a bottom and top unit, our storage units are capable of increasing 13 in reel storage by at least 1.5 times. The bottom unit, named the Mega Drawer, has a material cost of $1506.98 (+/-50%, depending on vendors),and is capable of increasing 13 inch storage capacity by 1.57 times, storing 287.76” of reels. Additionally, the Mega Drawer is also capable of storing up to 50.4” of 7 inch reels. The top unit, named the DrawerPede, is currently an unfinished design. Due to the complexity of the design, the target specifications, design constraints, and project timeline, we found it difficult to fully complete the top unit design. Nonetheless, the DrawerPede is capable of storing 300”of13 inch reels, but requires an unfinished bill of materials of at least $1230.00 USD. We, Team #8, are confident in our solution, especially the Mega Drawer. Contrastingly, we advise Iders to forego further development of the top unit in order to avoid losses in resources.
