Overview of Phase 4 • Deliverables: • Mechanical Testing 100 % Complete • Electrical PCB Testing 100% Complete • System Integration 100% Complete • Technical Paper 75% Complete • Process: • DDR - Phase 3 action items 100 % Complete • Problem tracking 100 % Tracked and Prepared • Risk 100 % Managed • Program: • Product Cost On Target • Project Cost On Target • Project Schedule On Schedule • Other: • External Submission Submitted on 1/29, Status Pending • Imagine RIT On Target The project is meeting all goals at this time
Mechanical Design • All Parts Fabricated and Assembled • Fabrication & Assembly Documentation Complete Prototype is complete and documented.
Electrical Design • Fully Integrated into handle • Electro-Mechanical Integration Testing Complete PCB is manufactured and electrical testing is completed.
Traceability Matrix - Technical • System test results all within ranges • All test plans and data tables are documented and referenced • Testing the total battery life 4/22/14 for S13 System has passed all tests
Traceability Matrix – Non technical • System test results all within ranges • All test plans and data tables are referenced Prototype meets all non-technical requirements
Close Out of Action Items • Received PCB and electrical components • Completed Mechanical System Testing • Completed Electrical Simulation Testing Closed out all action item from previous phases
Problem Solving The Problem Solving Matrix helped us use and understand the problem solving method.
Risk Curve All risks are being managed.
Project Cost Project meets approved budget.
Product Cost • Actual - $99.31 Target - $100.00 • Derived from the cost for 10,000 cane handles • Purchased parts only derived from catalog pricing Our product cost was achieved.
Project Plan Project is on track with our plan.
Imagine RIT We are on track with deliverables for Imagine RIT.
Lessons Learned • Problems Encountered • Many • Should have enlisted help from SMEs and other electrical engineers • Learnings • Practicing presentation with guides helps • Risk assessment is only useful if we use it to an end • 2 guides are better than 1 • Plan ahead and stay ahead to cushion risk • Stick to project plan, do not push deadlines out We learned from many encountered problems
Recommendations • For Future Work: • Ability to detect changes in elevation • Ability to provide feedback on proximity to obstacles • Designing a system that requires smaller batteries • Making battery removable more user friendly • Signal to user to let them know that battery is low while in use • Add a vibration to stop feedback • One D-shaped shaft for system • Fewer small parts and a more “streamlined design” • Simpler assembly
Next Steps: Phase 5 Deliverables • Technical paper 100% complete- May 2ndJessica • Complete poster-April 28th Lauren • Prototype handoff to customer-Week 14 Team • Achievement of project goals Team
Conclusion Chart • Deliverables: • Mechanical Testing 100 % Complete • Electrical PCB Testing 100% Complete • System Integration 100% Complete • Technical Paper 75% Complete • Process: • DDR - Phase 3 action items 100 % Complete • Problem tracking 100 % Tracked and Prepared • Risk 100 % Managed • Program: • Product Cost On Target • Project Cost On Target • Project Schedule On Schedule • Other: • External Submission Submitted on 1/29, Status Pending • Imagine RIT On Target
Problem Solving • A number of revisions on the tube handle The Problem Solving Matrix helped us use and understand the problem solving method.
