  1. Re-Design of The Jiko Cooking System EDSGN 100-005 Team 2 Submitted by: Sam Smith James English EmunaelMpanduki Ramon Cruz Submitted to: CYEC

  2. Table of Contents • The Problem • Objectives • Background • Possible Solutions • Our Plan • Final Solution • Conclusion

  3. A Problem in Kenya • Greatest Health Risk of Children Under 5 in Developing Nations • Smoke Inhalation from Indoor cooking • Biofuels lead to deforestation • Low income levels • Prefer to cook indoors

  4. Project Objective • Design a low cost, sustainable, and culturally appropriate cooking system for use by poor and marginalized people in the developing world.

  5. Design Objectives • The system should utilize an appropriate fuel source. • A business centered on the fabrication of such a system should be considered to serve a market of people who earn less than $2/day.

  6. Market • Primary Market • Rural Kenyans • Secondary Market • Urban Kenyans • Other Developing Countries

  7. Assumptions • The cooking system must be marketable and profitably by the CYEC • Reduction of harmful emissions • Low cost to buy • Durable • Easy to use

  8. Stakeholders • Users • Shell • CYEC • Manufacturers • Factories, marketers, transport, supply chain

  9. What the Customers Said • Want a cheap efficient cooker • A durable product • Ventilation seems to not be a problem

  10. Technical Issues • Mass production must be cheap • Product must be reliable • Need capital to start mass production

  11. Social Issues • Cooking is seen as a private matter • Cheaper is better • Massive corruption • Woman are the target audience

  12. Environmental Factors • Fuel sources such as wood are running out • Harmful things like dung are being used

  13. Economical Issues • Advertising • Keep costs low • 30% markup on sales • The CYEC youths are capable of manufacturing

  14. Possible Solutions • Ventilation System • Solar Power Cooker • Modify Jiko • Modify Envirofit • Jiko-Solar Power Option • Gel Fuel Stove

  15. Evaluations of Ideas through a Design Matrix

  16. Design Matrix 2

  17. The Jiko

  18. Ventilation System

  19. Modify Envirofit

  20. Gel Stove

  21. Solar Powered Cooker

  22. Modify Jiko • Majority of Kenyans already use the Jiko • Current Jiko Offers: …

  23. How to Reduce Oxidation • Hot-Dip Galvanizing • Zinc or Aluminum • Requires: • Galvanizer kettle • Zinc- $2.354/Kg

  24. Oxidation of Zinc 2Zn(s) + O2(g) 2ZnO(s) ZnO(s) +CO2(g)  ZnCO3(s) Oxidation only proceeds until a small layer of ZnCO3(s) is produced. This protects the rest of the zinc and other metals from further Corrosion.

  25. New and Improved Jiko • Will last up to double is previous life span if not more guaranteed.

  26. New and Improved Jiko • This just the simple new improvement will: • Increase life span of Jiko • More durable Jiko • More efficient in long run

  27. Implementation by CYEC • Production of the new jiko • A simple process which can be easily learned • Will profit from the sales of the modified jiko

  28. Cost Analysis • Production Costs • $4.10 for an individual jiko • Sale price • $5.33 • In order to create facilities in which the Jiko can be massed produced by the CYEC, a minimum of $10,000 must be gained from charitable sources

  29. Recycling Plan • Customers can give their old jiko’s to the CYEC and receive a discount on a new CYEC made jiko • The handed in jikos will be recycles saving costs
