Assignment: 3 (Design Assignment)

Task 1 (10 Marks) Generate a list of five constraints that apply to your project theme. The constraints
must be realistic, and they must serve a purpose. Identify the constraints, and indicate why they have
been adopted.
1 - Preserve Quality: It is related to how many times kitchen grill can be used without the material it is
compromised or frayed.
2 - No toxin release: When heated to high temperatures, will the kitchen grill release toxic substances in
the food? The project should ensure that no toxin is released into the food not to harm the human
health.
3 - Efficiency: Taken into consideration how long it takes for food to be grilled and get ready
4 - Design: Irregular format, regular shape, flat t, big, small
5 - Material: Which type of material will be made the skillet? The most appropriate type of material to
manufacture the kitchen grill is iron, aluminum or steel?
Task 2 (10 Marks) Identify all of the relevant functions of your design project. This includes the basic
and secondary functions. When listing the secondary functions, specify whether they are required or
unwanted and explain your answer.
The primary functions of the kitchen grill consist are basically:
- Cook
- Grill
- Heat

- Toasting
- Bake
- Boil
- Gratin
The secondary functions are:
- Container - Keep the food inside of the kitchen grill. Required
- Burn - If the customer forgets the food in the kitchen grill, will the food burn? Unwanted
- Do not accumulate waste - After cooking the food in the pan, there will be accumulation of waste at
the edges and on the sides of the kitchen grill. Unwanted
- Do not leave the food stick - Do not let the food made not to stick in the kitchen grill. Required
- Heat distribution - Good heat distribution over the kitchen grill. It makes the food be ready faster.
Required
Task 3 (30 Marks) Construct each of the following and explain the results:

A Pairwise Comparison Chart to rank the goals of your design project.

By Pairwise comparison chart it is possible to construct a rank of the most important goals that are
taken into consideration for the manufacture of the product.
According to the method used above, the most important indicator is the Ease of use, the second is the
Durability, the third is Quality, the fourth is Maintains temperature, the fifth is Eco-friendly and less
important indicator is Aesthetics.
This means that the goal Ease of use will get more attention and will be the most important feature
when the kitchen grill is being planned. However, this does not mean that the aesthetic factor is not
important, but it will be the last factor to be taken into consideration when making the skillet.

For the creation of a Kitchen grill as Morphological chat, is it possible to get 432 different combinations
of Design. (Type of Material (3) x Size (2) x Shape (3) X Surface (3) x Task (4) x Lifting Mechanism (2)). The
words in bold mean is one possibility of combination among the 432 possible combinations.

A Numerical Evaluation Matrix to evaluate the various design options for your design project

In Matrix Evaluation Numerical above you can see that the most appropriate option, which most
accumulated points in checked indexes was the Kitchen Grill stainless steel. The "X" indicates that both
Kitchen Iron Grill as Kitchen Grill with circular shape do not have a good performance as an efficiency.
