The four Cs of Design

Engineering Design

Creativity
Requires creation of something that has not existed or not existed in the proposed state.

Complexity
Requires decisions on many variables & parameters.

Engineering Design
Iterative process Requires decision making Meet SOME human need Main objectives:

4Cs
Choice
Requires making choices between many possible solutions at all levels from basic concept to small detail.

Compromise
Requires balancing multiple & sometimes conflicting requirements.

That is in some way is better than what has previously been produced and/or that has some unique quality.

Measures of Effectiveness of the DP

Identify the need.

Plan the design process

Develop the engineering requirements

Product Co$t
Develop the Concepts Develop the Product

Design Quality
Effect of quality of the design is great.

Time to Market
Global competition has affected this greatly

Design costs are a fraction of total cost but have large impact on product cost.

Factors to consider regarding design & the design process

The continuous need for new, co$teffective, high quality products.

Phases of Design Process

Phase I: Conceptual Design
Recognition of a need

Phases of Product Development

Phase III: Detailed Design Phase IV: Planning for manufacture
Designing tools and fixturing Designing process sheets and production lines Creation of final drawings and specifications Planning work schedules Product safety Quality assurance considerations Planning the information flow system Aesthetics Operational Economics Disposal

Phase II: Embodiment Design

Arrangement of the physical functions (Product architecture) Preliminary selection of materials, modeling, sizing of components (Configuration design) Creating a robust design, final selection of dimensions and tolerances (Parametric design)

Phase VI: Planning for use

Ease of use

Phase VII: Planning for retirement

Recycling Ease of maintenance Reliability, durability Reuse

Problem definition

Gathering Information Developing the design concept Choosing between competing designs

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Inattention to RESULTS

Avoidance of ACCOUNTABILITY

Fear of CONFLICT

Lack of COMMITMENT

Team Dynamic

Dynamics of a team

How Good Groups Work

Informal atmosphere Discussion where everyone participates Clearly defined objective Active listening by all members Disagreement exists Decisions reached by consensus

Team dynamic
Clear performance goals Communication Hold each other accountable Mutual respect Commitment Interdependence

MEMB 322: Mechanical Design Process

How Good Groups Work

Criticism is frequent and relatively comfortable - no personal attack. Free expression in feeling and/or ideas on the problem Clear assignments are made and accepted The leader of the group does not dominate The group is conscious of its own operation
