Project Conceptualization We recognize the need for Kodak to redesign the disposable camera to maximize profit.
Problem Definition • Kodak has been losing money for years, and is on the verge of bankruptcy • A redesigned disposable camera could tap into groups of people that would normally not purchase disposable cameras
Current Camera Costs Total Production Cost: $3.80 Suggested Retail Price: $7.99
E-Waste • E-waste is a form of waste consisting of electronic parts that have not completed their life cycles • E-waste is full of highly toxic chemicals and heavy metals, and can contribute to environmental damage1 • In order to appeal to consumers and reduce our environmental impact, our redesigned camera should be designed to limit environmental impact 1. http://earthtrends.wri.org/updates/node/130
Attributes • Disposable Camera: • Camera should be cheap • Camera should still take excellent pictures • Camera should not have a battery • Camera should still have a flash • Camera should be easy to distribute • Camera should have an appealing design • Give the consumer different choices • Different colors • Camera should have minimal packaging • Allows the consumer to see the camera quickly • Plastic wrapping • Camera should be sustainable • Camera should be made of reusable or biodegradable material • Biodegradable components • Used film, film canisters • Reusable components • Camera case and electronic parts
