Manufacturing analysis and optimization for an hydraulic hoisting rig HH102

The present work illustrates and analyzes the complexities involved in the production and operation of a specific drilling rig (the "Hydraulic Hoisting Rig 102”, hereinafter HH102), highlighting the importance of continuous technological advancements in the drilling industry. In particular, this analysis aims to explain and improve one of the many processes integral to the daily operations within an Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) production plan. The equipment under consideration is the HH102, a mobile drilling rig that offers versatility, requiring only a few hours to be rigged up and be ready for operation. It is robust and safe, thanks to its various configurations, providing up to 350 tons of pulling-up force and 20 tons in pulldown, and is compliant with HSE standards. Understanding the main components and their roles in the complex processes of drilling a well is crucial. This thesis is focuses on some manufacturing processes of the drilling rig, working on integrating the information process alongside the Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM) and transforming it into the Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM). This transformation will define the assembly processes, resource management (materials, man-hours, and overall transit time), cost analysis, and the production cycle for the component. In conclusion, the assembly process for a hydraulic hoisting rig is a complex and multifaceted procedure that requires meticulous planning, precision, and coordination. By following a structured assembly process, implementing optimization strategies, and ensuring rigorous quality assurance, manufacturers can produce reliable and efficient hydraulic hoisting rigs that meet stringent industry standards.
