▪ Modern Medical Kits: Today's medical assortment kits are highly specialized, catering to
first aid, surgery, and specific medical fields. They are used by professionals and
laypersons alike.
▪ Technology and Electronics: The tech industry offers kits containing various components
like resistors, capacitors, and microcontrollers for educational and professional use.
Modern Innovations
▪ Customization: Modern assortment kits are often customizable, allowing users to choose
the specific items they need.
▪ Portability and Durability: Advances in materials have led to the development of more
portable and durable kits, suitable for various environments and conditions.
▪ Digital Integration: Some kits now include digital components, such as QR codes for
instructional videos or apps for inventory management.
assortment kits have evolved from simple collections of tools to highly specialized and versatile
sets designed to meet the needs of various professions and hobbies.
1.1.2. Advantage of AK
Assortment kits offer numerous advantages across various fields and applications.
Here are some key benefits:
▪ Convenience and Efficiency
Having a variety of tools, components, or supplies in one place saves time and effort,
eliminating the need to search for individual items. Assortment kits are often
organized in a way that makes items easy to locate and access quickly, improving
workflow and productivity. Many assortment kits are designed to be portable, making
it easy to carry necessary tools and supplies to different locations.
▪ Cost-Effectiveness
Buying items in a kit is often cheaper than purchasing each item separately. Kits can
reduce waste by providing only what is needed, preventing the purchase of excess
items.
▪ Organization and Storage
Assortment kits typically come in compact, organized containers, making storage
more efficient and space-saving. Kits help in keeping track of inventory, ensuring that
all necessary items are available when needed.
▪ Versatility and Flexibility
Assortment kits are versatile, suitable for various tasks and applications. For example,
a medical kit can be used for both minor and major injuries. Some kits allow for
customization, enabling users to tailor the contents to their specific needs.
▪ Preparedness and Safety

available in case of an emergency. In professional settings, standardized kits ensure
that users have the necessary tools and supplies to perform tasks correctly and safely.
▪ Professional and Educational Benefits
Assortment kits are valuable in educational settings, providing students with hands-on
experience using various tools and components. In professional fields, kits ensure that
practitioners have all necessary equipment to perform their jobs efficiently and
effectively.
1.1.3. Classifications of AK
Assortment kits can be classified based on various criteria, such as their intended use,
the type of items they contain, and the industry they serve. Here are some common
classifications:

1.2. Bolt AK
1.2.1. Definition of BA
A bolt assortment kit is a collection of various types, sizes, and lengths of bolts, typically
organized in a compartmentalized container for ease of access and use. These kits are designed to
provide a convenient selection of bolts for a wide range of applications, such as construction,
automotive repair, machinery maintenance, and DIY projects. Here are a few key aspects and
definitions related to bolt assortment kits:
Selecting the appropriate materials for a bolt assortment kit depends on various factors such as
the intended use, environmental conditions, strength requirements, and cost considerations.
Here’s a detailed guide to help in the material selection process:
Factors to Consider
1. Intended Use
2. Environmental Conditions
▪ Corrosive Environments: For environments exposed to moisture, chemicals,
or salt (like marine settings), materials like stainless steel (especially grade
316), brass, or coated bolts (galvanized or zinc-plated) are ideal.
▪ Non-Corrosive Environments: In dry, indoor environments, plain steel bolts
or those with minimal coating can be used effectively.
3. Strength Requirements
4. Weight Considerations
5. Electrical Conductivity
6. Cost Considerations
▪ Budget-Friendly: Plain steel or zinc-plated steel bolts are generally the most
cost-effective.
▪ Higher Cost for Specific Needs: Stainless steel, brass, and especially
titanium bolts are more expensive but offer significant advantages for specific
applications.
1. By Type of Bolts
o Hex Bolts
o Carriage Bolts
o Lag Bolts
o Machine Bolts
o Anchor Bolts
2. By Material
o Steel
- Plain Steel: General-purpose use.
- Alloy Steel: High-strength applications.
- Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant, suitable for outdoor and
marine environments.
o Brass -Used in decorative applications and environments requiring
corrosion resistance.
o Aluminum - Lightweight, used in applications where weight is a
concern.
o Nylon/Plastic - Non-conductive and corrosion-resistant, used in
specific electrical or non-metallic applications.
3. By Size Range
o Metric Sizes- Bolts measured in millimeters, commonly used outside
the United States.
o Imperial Sizes-Bolts measured in inches, commonly used in the United
States.
o Mixed Sizes - Kits containing a variety of both metric and imperial
sizes.
4. By Intended Application
o General Purpose Kits - Contains a variety of commonly used bolts for
household and general maintenance tasks.
o Automotive Kits- Includes bolts specifically for vehicle repair and
maintenance.
o Construction Kits- Contains bolts for building and construction
applications.
o Electrical Kits - Includes non-conductive bolts like nylon or plastic,

3. "Supply Chain Efficiency through Standardized Component Kits" by Dr. Sarah Jensen
- This paper discusses how standardized kits, including bolt assortments, improve supply chain
efficiency. It highlights the benefits of having a standard kit that reduces variability and
simplifies procurement processes. It connects the concept of bolt assortment kits to broader
supply chain management practices.
4. "The Economic Impact of Modular Assembly Kits" by Dr. Robert Chang
- Chang's study explores the economic benefits of using modular assembly kits, such as bolt
assortments, in manufacturing. The research demonstrates cost savings through reduced waste
and increased efficiency. It offers a financial perspective on the use of bolt assortment kits in
manufacturing.
In this section we see the all cost the machine take to manufacture means cost for labor, cost of
each material, and cost of standard components of bolt assortment kit.
Total cost= manufacturing cost + labor cost + standard cost
• Material cost
Material cost means the cost of each material in project. Means the cost each material have
regarding its material property; the mass of each material have and cost it be sold.
• Labor cost
Labor cost means the cost of all components should have regarding its processes of
manufacturing and time it take to manufactured. Not only this one labor means expenditure made
of on the salaries, wages, overtime, bonuses, etc…. of the employer of the interprice. In our
design the labor cost takes 100birr.
• Standard cost
Standard cost means the cost of standard material gated from shop. As shown below on table 1
Part name Qty. Mass(kg) Material Cost of raw
material(birr)
Box 1 5 Grade 8 100
Lid 1 2.5 Grade 8 60
Connector 2 0.2 Grade 8 90
Handle 1 0.3 Grade 8 40
