ES1050 – Introductory Engineering Design and Innovation Studio Introduction to Design Process Customers’ Needs Product Design Specifications Prof. Paul Kurowski 1
WHAT versus HOW • First, designers need to know WHAT the customer wants • Then, designers need to determine HOW to meet the customer requirements
What the customer wants? Customer requirements: • Must be discriminatory • Must be measurable • Must be orthogonal (no overlapping of requirements) • Must be universal (applicable to all alternatives under consideration) • Must be external to problem (not impose design choices)
Customer Requirements: WHAT Examples of customer requirements (BBQ lighter) : • Easy to use • Lightweight • Stylish • Reliable • Affordable • Performs a desired function (lights up a BBQ) Customer Requirements are qualitative
Product Design Specifications: HOW Selected product design specifications (BBQ lighter) • Length 20 cm • Weight 0.1N • Flame length 30mm • Works 500 times on one load • 0.2N force required to release the trigger Product Design Specifications describe features and characteristics present in the product.Product Design Specifications are quantitative, must be measurable in numbers with clearly specified units.
Product Design Specifications:HOW Other names for engineering design specifications include: • Engineering design specifications • Engineering requirements • Design requirements • Functional requirements • Objectives and constraints • Technical requirements • Technical specifications
Product Design Specifications: How can we classify product design specifications and what is their importance in satisfying customers’ requirements? Not all customers’ requirements can be met 100%, some are mutually exclusive so a compromise must be found. How to satisfy customers?
Different Perspectives of the Same Problem As marketing requested it As sales ordered it As engineering designed it As production manufactured it As plant installed it What the customer really wanted !
Basic features Must be present, expected Performance features The more there is the happier the customer Excitement features Exciting, new, unexpected features Over time, excitement features become basic features Kano Diagram of Customer Satisfaction http://www.c2c-solutions.com/kano_tutorial.htm
Quality Function Deployment * (QFD) is a technique developed in Japan during the mid-1970's for better understanding the design problem, in particular of customer needs. * Deployment: the distribution of forces in preparation for battle or work
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) General Comments: • No matter how well the design team thinks it understands a problem, it should employ the QFD technique for all design projects, because in the process the team will learn what it doesn't know about the problem. • The customer's requirements must be translated into measurable design targets before a large amount of time and resources are invested in the design effort. • It is important to first consider what needs to be designed and, only after that is fully understood, to worry about how the design will look and work.
SHRUB PROTECTOR We want to develop a new product. Something that will protect shrubs from being eaten by bunnies, groundhogs etc. We will use the QFD technique to link customer requirements with engineering specifications. We are here Products that meet our needs Design Need Paths of the Design Process
