Dr. Parmigiani, I thought I'd send you a message and let you know where I've ended up since college… … As you may recall I took senior project from you a few years back and did the human powered vehicle project … …Since I left I know that you've moved towards a fusing of industrial and mechanical engineering. My experience so far supports that move as I am constantly required to think of how the parts will be made and how they will fit into to our stream of labor and lean manufacturing etc. In a constant push to make more things faster,without sacrificing quality (and who wouldn't want that) I find myself more concerned with process improvements than product improvements and also more excited about them… Brendan Treacy Engineer @ Renovo Hardwood Bicycles ME Senior Project 2008 - 09
Capstone DesignWeek 4 Lecture • Announcements (Guests) • HoQ Part 2 (Parmigiani) • Status Meeting 2 (Parmigiani) • Progress Report 2 (Parmigiani) • System Analysis / Functional Decomposition (Funk) • Requirement Verifiability (Funk) • Preliminary Proposal (Funk)
House of QualityOverview • Provides a concise diagram of project requirements • Constructed in three parts in this course • Part 1: CRs & Weightings • Part 2: ERs & Targets/Tolerances • Part 3: Testing Plans & Design Links • Part 1: Done (but can be changed this term w/out petition, just get signatures) • Part 2: Next • Status meeting 2 (draft to discuss) • Progress report 2 (revised draft, hand-in for review) • Preliminary Proposal (final version, with signatures)
House of QualityPart 1: Done … • Customer Requirements (CRs) • A complete listing, in the “language of the sponsor”, of what must be done • Each CR deals with one concept (e.g. don’t group “Small” and “Lightweight”) • Example: “Device must be lightweight” • One sponsor requirement may generate several CR’s (e.g. “Portable”) • Must be approved by team, sponsor mentor, faculty advisor, course instructor • Project scope defined in CR's ... pay close attention! • Weightings • Indicate relative importance of each CR (greater weighting more important) • Total of 250 points to distribute among CRs (i.e. sum of all weightings = 250) • Example: “Device must be lightweight” given weighting of 50. • Low Technical Effort (LTE) CRs: Not given numerical weighting, but must be met. • Must be approved by team, sponsor mentor, faculty advisor, course instructor • Very important in grading Evaluation 1 and Evaluation 2 in winter term … if you now see problems, correct in Part 2 when ERs & TTs are added…
Approval (print name, sign, and date): Team member 1: Faculty Advisor: Team member 2: Sponsor Mentor: Team member 3: Course Instructor: • Engineering Requirements (ERs) • Define CRs in terms of technical, measurable specifications • Generated from Customer Requirements (One CR may generate several ERs) • Ex.: CR “Device must be lightweight” maps to ER “Weighs less than 20 lb” • Used in specifying and evaluating design concepts • Must be approved by team, sponsor mentor, faculty advisor, course instructor • Ability to properly test and satisfy ERs constitutes 50% of winter term grade
Approval (print name, sign, and date): Team member 1: Faculty Advisor: Team member 2: Sponsor Mentor: Team member 3: Course Instructor: • Target (w/ tolerance) • The Target is the design-to value for an ER (value to use in calculations) • The Tolerance (+/- value, <>, etc.) defines the amount of permissible variation • Example: ER “Weighs less than 20 lb” has Target “15lb”, Tolerance “<20lb” • ER satisfied if test result = target value within tolerance • Must be approved by team, sponsor mentor, faculty advisor, course instructor • Don’t use the extreme-permitted ER value as the design-to value!
House of QualityExample • Original requirement from Sponsor Portable • Customer Requirement One person can easily carry across a room • Weighting 20 • Engineering Requirements Weighs < 20 lbs, no sharp edges, no dimension > 12” (3 ER’s) • Target 15 lb, largest dimension of 10” • Tolerance +5/-15 lb, +2/-10" OR < 20lb, < 12" (include units!) • Test Plan (Summary, you’ll need more detail) 1. Weigh, 2. Inspect for sharp edges, 3.Measure • Design Link (Summary, you’ll need more detail) 1. Material selection, 2. Fabrication method, 3. Component sizing
House of QualityExample • Requirement from Sponsor All control knobs labeled in English, German, and French • Customer Requirements All control knobs labeled in English, German, and French • Weighting LTE (Low Technical Effort) • Engineering Requirements All control knobs labeled in English, German, and French • Target & Tolerance N/A • Test Plan (Summary) 4. Professor from German / French depts. verifies labels meet needs • Design Link (Summary) 4. Describe how label material selection and size are appropriate
House of QualityExample • Requirement from Sponsor Water flow rate of 10 cu-in / min • Customer Requirements Water flow rate of at least 10 in3/min within 1 sec. of activation, never a flowrate greater than 20 in3/min (2 CRs) • Weighting 30, 35 • Engineering Requirements Flow > 10 in3/min within 1 sec, Flow < 20 in3/min (2 ERs) • Target 12 in3/min in 0.8 sec, maximum flow of 17 in3/min. • Tolerance >10 in3/min , <1 sec, <20 in3/min • Test Plan (summary) 5. Using flow meter and timing device, measure flow rates. • Design Link (summary) 5 & 6 Describe how piping, pump, and valve selection satisfies these ERs
Status Meeting 2 • Same schedule as Status Meeting 1 • Bring written draft of HoQ Part 2 • CRs & Weightings • ERs & TTs • Bring documentation (drawings, sketches, plans) of alternate designs you are considering … the results of brainstorming sessions … a which you intend to pursue Failure to conduct a satisfactory status meeting will result in a 35 point penalty
Progress Report 3 Same schedule & format as Progress Report 1
Discussion PointsERs from CRs • Device shall autonomously traverse a predetermined path above the vineyard • Weight distribution must be within 10% of original design • System must be self contained • Device shall not splash liquid • The device shall offer easy blade changes • Device shall be low maintenance
