(a) Problem Identification and Scope Definition: Define the project scope, and objectives, and constraints based on automotive industry standards. Establish the clear goals focusing on cost-effectiveness, and dimensional accuracy, component quality, and production efficiency

An oil slinger is a mechanical component used in rotating machinery like engines to distribute lubricating oil to key components such as bearings or gears. Designed as a disc or ring mounted on a rotating shaft, it utilizes centrifugal force to pick up oil from a reservoir and fling it towards these parts, ensuring continuous lubrication. This process reduces friction, dissipates heat, and prevents wear, maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the machinery. Regular maintenance is required to ensure the oil slinger's effectiveness in keeping the machinery running smoothly.

(b) Literature Survey: Conduct the review of an academic literature and industry publications related to oil slinger components, sheet metal operations, and press tool design. Identify theoretical foundations, best practices, and case studies relevant to the project. (c) Conceptual Design: Brainstorm initial concepts for the oil slinger component using sketches and basic CAD such as solid
