Begins with appointment of a team leader and is a composed of ten stages
What is Design Process
100
Generated ideas must me narrowed to a few ideas to be subjected to more sophisticated analysis
What is Analyze Potential Solutions
100
How long will the product run in testing before failure?
What is Durability
100
The need for more eco-friendly vehicles.
What is Identify the Problem/Product Innovation
200
This enables steps of the design cycle to be repeated.
What is iterative
200
Seeing the specific needs and problems
What is Stage 1: Identifying the Problem/Product Innovation
200
During this stage we would develop a 3-d drawing or diagram or computer program.
What is Develop and Test Models
200
How easily can it be constructed?
What is Ease of Assembly
200
How much will it cost? Will it be easy to use?
What is Define the Working Criteria and Goals
300
The product or solution must be designed to meet certain minimum standards.
What is Quality
300
Establishment of standards which can be used in each of the ten stages to measure possible solutions
What is Stage 2: Define the Working Criteria and Goals
300
Choosing the best solution
What is Stage 7: Make the Decision
300
Under what forces or loads is a failure likely, and with what frequency is this likely to occur?
What is Strength
300
Off to the Library, internet, and journals
What is Research and gather data
400
The product must be produced at the least cost without sacrificing safety
What is Economics
400
Good, reliable background information
What is Research and Gather Data
400
Technical Presentations
What is Stage 8: Communicate and Specify
400
The product or solution must fulfill its intended purpose
What is functionality
400
The stage that incorporates Management, Technical reps, Business reps, and Attorneys.
What is Stage 9: Implementation and Commercialize
500
The product must be designed so that the user can operate it with maximum ease and efficiency
What is ergonomics/human factors engineering
500
Develop as many potential creative solutions as posssible
What is Brainstorming and Generating Creative Ideas
500
List the steps of the Design Process in Order
What is
1. Identify Problem/ Product Innovation
2. Define the working criteria and goals
3. Research and gather data
4. Brainstorm and generate creative ideas
5. Analyze potential solutions
6. Develop and test models
7. Make the decision
8. Communicate and Specify
9.Implement and Commercialize
10. Preform post-implementation review and assessment
500
Is the design such that it can be consistently manufactured and assembled?
What is Quality and Consistency
500
We've grouped all the ideas together and thrown possible solutions out
