  10. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Phase 1 ‘Design Process’ -------> Sponsor Deliverables - Synthesizing/Deriving/ Structuring Sponsor Requirements • - Sponsor Goals/Needs • - Key Metrics • - Scope Definition - Beginning to • - Develop Early Concepts • and a rough sense for how • to apply your resources • over time available • - Research Applicable • Science & Technology • Initial Concepts/ • How to Prototype • Early Benchmarks

  11. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Phase 1 ‘Design Process’ -------> Sponsor Deliverables • Iterate • Upgrade • Build Detail

  12. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Sr Design Web Site Phase 1 – Project Requirements “Conversion of sponsor requirements into a structured framework of understanding for continuous use in directing project execution.”

  13. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Scope: Process - Product

  14. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Scope Dimensions/ Considerations ?

  15. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Scope Considerations: • Complexity/Difficulty • Product – Process • - Integration • - Functions ‘Value-add’ ? • Commercial scale-up • ….how to prototype? • Goals/Wants/Metrics • Available Resources/Time • Sub Systems…….

  16. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Metrics Customers Project Goal Wants/Needs/Constraints Metrics ? Detailed Metrics/Specifications

  17. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Metrics “A performance metric is a measure of an organization's activities and performance”, ….WikipediA Metrics – Quantifiable dimensions of performance and cost of the system that your project addresses. Eg; Weight (Newtons) Size (l,h,w) cm;cm3 Cycle Time (seconds) Repeatability Coefficient : a precision measure which represents the value below which the absolute difference between two repeated test results may be expected to lie with a probability of 95%. Availability (%)= MTBF/MTBF+MTTR

  18. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Metrics - Scope Current State Future State Achieved State Benchmarks Better Faster Cheaper Metrics Gaps

  19. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Structured Process Tools • Spreadsheet based methods - Hierarchical mapping - Weighted comparisons (Eg: Udesign; Dym &Little) - NPV analysis • Functional Diagramming • - Product (sponsor’s customer) functions • - Process functions & Product flow

  20. Senior Design Smaller 5x4x3 Cycle Time 25 sec Hardness MTTF Accurate Repeatability 63 Rc 95 hrs .005% .01% MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Structured Process Tools- Hierarchical mapping: Goals Needs Metrics Improve Process/Product Improve Performance Lower Cost $15, 000 Operate Better Operate Faster More Reliable More Durable Failure Rate

  21. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Structured Process Tools– Functional Diagramming: - Product flow across process functions internal to Sponsor - Product providing desirable function for Sponsor Customers Scope? Value?

  22. Senior Design MEEG401 - Fall 2011 Structured Process Tools:NPV metric Improve Performance $ Revenue Improve Process or Product f(t) = NPV Lower Cost $ Cost Cost Revenue Precision Cycle Time Quality Cycle Time Quality (Precision)
