this cart is used to carry all necessary tools and
materials needed for the setup operation. A handheld receiver is used during the leak check since the operators need
not to walk in and out of the autoclave machine to the control panel to observe the readings. One operator can
monitor the readings of the leak check while the other will remove and replace the malfunction thermocouples and
vacuum hoses. The current setup process involves all internal setups. Thus, the setup process is broken down into
work elements based on the time study data from MOST and then separated into internal and external setup
accordingly. A PERT/CPM analysis is conducted to balancing the steps of setup process as shown in figure 3.
