Project Overview • Garri is a staple food of West Africa made from the cassava root • Production is time consuming and labor intensive • Design a machine to improve upon current processing methods • Project intended to benefit lower class Nigerian families
Quarter Review • Redefine Objectives • Concept Development and Revision • Feasibility Analysis
MSD II: Project Plan • Acquire materials and components • Machine and assemble grater base and peeler support • Sand casting • Testing
Test Plan • Critical Areas • Cycle Time • % Waste • Required Re-work
