Pen

Cleaning Devices

Ceiling Fan

Pringles’ Bottle

Dustbin

Pen is problem. How?

• Leaking at the tip of the pen.

The metal part of the tip

might be smaller than the

diameter of plastic tube.

• Metal tip stuck and blocked

the ink from flowing out.

• Rubber holder get loose.

• Pen hanger get broken

easily.

• Less ergonomic body shape.

The hand structure consists of bones called carpals, metacarpals and

phalanges. Together the carpals and metacarpals form a synovial joint

making gliding action possible. Gliding action is the process in which the

bones slide over one another allowing for a vast range of movement. Without

the metacarpals, the hand would be inadequate and virtually useless.

So we can make the assumption that Vinnie is holding his pen pretty damntight for his metacarpals to be damaged. His preternatural pen grip is

presumptively a result of the flood of anger and rage flowing through his

body when he writes his lyrics. Vinnie’s anger and hatred is portrayed and

characterized in many of his songs by his ferocious unorthodox rapping

style.

Many people face the problem of having too many cleaning objects

The long arm on cleaning device used a lot of space in store room

They want to find a device that can solve their lack of space

problem

Their cleaning tool also not properly placed in one place

There also no specific place to locate their cleaning object after

used it.

They forgot where they put their cleaning object if they want to use

it again.

Cleaning devices usually comes with a long

arm

Long arm used as holder for the cleaning

device and then people use to hold of it during

cleaning process

As there are many type of cleaning device at

homes it causes the limited space to put their

cleaning device

Dust

accumulated

Ceiling fan is a must have electrical appliances

for each home. Due to its high position, the

ceiling fan is hard to reach. After some times,

the ceiling fan will accumulate the dust that

has been in the air surrounding.

The fan blade will accumulate dust after some

time

The high position of the fan makes it hard for

the user to clean it

Long size of blade make the accumulated dust

more

Problem Statement

Pringle is one of the most favorite crackers

among Malaysian. However, after the cracker has

been consumed, the user having a hard time to

reach the cracker at the bottom of the container.

Small size of the container

Fix size of the container that is not suitable for

different hand size of people (not-adjustable)

shape of the container (cylinder)

Problem Statement

Dustbin is a need of public. A dustbin is an important place to accommodate

unwanted substances. The needs of a dustbin are large space area, good hygiene

and others. There are certain improvements that can make to the existed design

of dustbin which are ergonomic aspect and the usage of technology in making a

more user friendly dustbin.

Ergonomic aspect – make it more ergonomic

in the design.

Manual close and open of the dustbin.

Exposed area for garbage- let the smell of the

garbage vaporized into the air surrounding.

The rigidity of the material used in making the

dustbin- not stable weight of the dustbin, make

it easy to be flipped by human or animal.

As a demonstration to student, we just brings

solutions for dustbin only.

Collection of a great deal of information.

Consideration between customers expectation and parameter set by

designer.

Highest-ranking EC’s from the HOQ are either constraint or design

variables which is used as decision making criteria.

The decision will be used to evaluate candidate design. (George &

Linda, 2013)(p110).

Highest ranking

1. Few values – use EC as a constraint.

2. Many values – use EC as metric to compare conceptual design.

Result from HOQ will guide to determine selection criteria for

evaluate design.

Lowest ranking – not much critical compare to highest ranking.

Low ranking can be determined by anything most conducive in order

to achieve good design outcome.

FYI, our HOQ of engineering characteristics was based on Garvin’s Eight Dimension of Quality.

Light weight of the trash can

In sum, product design can help us to

improve our life and make it much easier.

From the business point of view, this means

that many people will like the creative

product as long as it solves their problem and

provides to them what the other products do

not do.

Ops! Wait. . . (turn to next slide)
