External Search n Level-I n Rope climbing toys / machines n Rope climbers (sports or circus) n Nature (spiders, bats, etc) n Level-II (Team uses friction wheels) n Hoists n Trolleys n Ski Lifts
Internal Search & Evaluation n. Brainstorming n. Generate many ideas n. Evaluate against PDS n. Select one to engineer
Detail Design (Engineering) More Abstract Engineering Less Abstract
Design Process n Top-level problem definition is called PDS (Product Design Specifications) n Problem definitions at lower levels derive from PDS: Sub-system design specifications. n Component design specifications. n Feature design specifications. n

Product Design Specification • Elements of PDS – Performance • • • Speed, Capacity, Power, Accuracy, etc. (User)
Elements of PDS – Environment: (User) • Temperature range, humidity, dust and dirt, etc. – Life in service: (User) • 10 years, 5000 cycles, etc. – Maintenance: (User) • What is the market policy, what customers accept – Target production cost: (User) • Cost of comparable products and company policy.
Elements of PDS • Shipping: – Package sizes – Damage resistance
Elements of PDS • Quantity (Manufacturing) – Determined by market analysis. • Manufacturing facility (Manufacturing) – Is the design constrained by existing facility? – Are parts to be contracted and assembled inhouse? – Does the company policy dictate certain facilities?
Element of PDS • Size and shape (Marketing) • Weight (Marketing) – What is the desired weight? – Should handles or lifting points be provided? – Should it be modular for better handling? • Aesthetics (Marketing, User) – Color, shape, form, texture, finish. – Market research.
Elements of PDS • Materials (Marketing, Codes, Regulations) – Left to designers unless company guidelines or regulations restrict certain materials (asbestos, lead). • Product life span (Marketing, Manufacturing) – Life of a product as a marketable entity. Several months or several years?
Elements of PDS • Laws, Codes, and standards • Ergonomics (User) (Government)
Elements of PDS • Quality and reliability (Marketing) – Company policy regarding warranties – Competitors warranty policies • Testing (Marketing, QA) – What tests would be performed to verify performance – Standard tests
Elements of PDS • Shelf life (storage) - Retail – Possibility of rust, decay, deterioration • Processes (company guidelines) – Use of certain standards (GD&T for example) – Use of certain procedures • Time-scales (deadlines) - Management – Whole design project, milestones
Elements of PDS • Safety (User, Government, Legal) – What safety requirements are mandated by government – Professional society's codes and standards – Need for warning labels – Likely degrees of abuse or misinterpretation of operating procedures.
Elements of PDS • Company constraints (Management) – Compatibility with other products • Documentation (Management – Legal) – A product design must include a full formal documentation per company guidelines. – Safety, Operation, and Service documents. – Etc.
Elements of PDS • Legal (Lawyers) – What product liability law suits are associated with similar products and why. – Note the legal terms: • “defect of specification” • “defect of design” • “defect of manufacture” – Relevant patents
Element of PDS • Installation (Installers) – Many products must interface with other products or be assembled with other products. • Disposal (Society) – Should any parts by recyclable? – bio-degradable?
Wording of the PDS Document • Format of most statements in PDS: – The device must ……. . – The device is to …… – The device is desired to …. • Avoid mixing requirements. – One sentence per requirement. • Cast PDS statements in a positive format
PDS is a Dynamic Document • A design statement usually begins as a vague statement – – – The device is to be easy to use The device is to be safe The device is to be inexpensive The device is to be rugged and reliable The device is to be portable
Wording of the PDS Document • Example: ESCO’s Pin Remover – The pin-remover is to be light. – The pin-remover must work in a wet, cold, and dusty environment. – The Pin-remover must be safe – The Pin-remover must have a 3 -year warranty.
PDS Example • • • The PR is to be rugged. … must work with air pressure. … is be easy to use. … is to pass “HTS” tests. … is to last 5 years in normal usage. … is to be easy to carry.
PDS Example • • … is to sell for less than $150. … is to costless than $50 to make. … is to have low maintenance needs. … is to be difficult to use as a hammer. • … must not infringe on patented devices. • … Production volume is to be 300 per year
PDS Example • … is to be tested by June 2006. • … is to be released by Sep. 2006. • … is to be used with Dredge Point models. • … is to work faster than the hammer
Engineering Specifications • What is – – – “Fast, accurate, high-performing”? “Light, Small, portable”? “Easy to use”? “Safe”? “Stylish”?
Engineering Specifications – Verifiable PDS statements – Developed for important PDS statements – Have associated target numbers (Yes/No OK)
Engineering Specifications Tips – Set up metrics and targets so the designer has maximum options in accomplishing the PDS
Engineering Specifications Tips • PDS: The Dog Feeder must not tip over when bumped or pushed by a dog. – Bad: The DF must weigh 50 lbs – Good: The dog feeder must withstand 30 lbs applied to its top from side
A Typical PDS Page • Requirement: PR is to be easy to maintain – Primary customer: End users – Priority: High – Metrics and Targets • • • Daily maintenance: None Weekly maintenance: < 10 minutes – field Yearly maintenance: < 1 hour – Shop Cost of weekly maintenance < 10 c Cost of yearly maintenance < $10
