Bicycle Assembly Process Overview
Bicycle Assembly Process Overview
ASSEMBLY PROCESS
This process takes place in the manufacturing area, which consists of generating the parts.
metal supports of the bicycle such as the frame, the fork, and the handlebars, for this
an order is placed with the warehouse for the raw material, the metal tubes, to
then move to a cutting phase in which the different metal pieces are generated that
they will shape the skeleton of the bicycle (frame and fork), then it moves on to a phase of
pressed in which the tubes curve according to the shapes of the bicycle design
(Frame, fork, and handlebar), to then be directed to the stamping stage where
holes are made in the metal pieces where others will be screwed. Finally, we
produce the welding or joining of the pieces (frame, fork) to subsequently have this unique one
the piece will pass to the painting area.

Internal clients
The clients that correspond to this process are internal clients, in this case it is done
reference to the company's transportation, painting, and assembly equipment.
Transport
It is responsible for transporting raw materials and parts from one station to another (metal tubes,
cut pieces and finished pieces
Painted
They are responsible for painting the pieces received from the Assembly area, the frames and forks.
Assembly

complementary (brakes, wheels, spokes, hubs, bell, other accessories)
External clients
External clients are not identified in this process
Transport
The time it takes for the reception of tubes and metal pieces to the different areas
the manufacturing should be kept to a minimum.
Painted
That the parts that come out of the Assembly area (frame, fork, and handlebars) are from
the best possible quality to avoid errors in painting.
Have an adequate record of parts that enter the painting area.
That the quality control of the assembly phase shows a minimal amount of
returns.
Assembled

That the components of the bicycles are at the exact time, quantity, quality and
distributed according to its type.

2.1.11. TECHNOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The equipment used in this process requires precise handling, as failure to do so
managed in the proper way would pose a high risk of accident.
PIPE CUTTER
Allows for a high-precision cut. It has several uses depending on the type of blade and
motor that is used, adding beveling functions.
TUBE BENDER
The bending machines allow for handling various bending angles. They work with different types of
tubes (cylindrical, square, etc.).
Composed of external energy sources, heads that provide precision according to the
type of pipes to be welded. They also depend on the type of pipe to be used.
