Ergonomics & Its Human Factors - Fundamentals of Design and Manufacture - Section- A - Amie

                         Ergonomics  &  Its   Human  Factors *  Any System Will Work Efficiently  if Its Human Operator Can work Comfortably In It. * Efficiency Of Any Design depends On The Comfort Of Its Human Operator. * Hence, Comfort Of Humans Is An Very Essential factor of Design. * A Designer Has To Keep in Mind about Man - Machine Relationship Viz., Called As Ergonomics. * Its Essential  To Keep In View The Limitations of Human Operator.( The Ease / Comfort With Which He Can Do The Work). * Environmental Conditions ( Heat , Noise , Safety Considerations) etc  Need Serious Attention. * Ergonomic Design - The Subject Dealing With Human Aspects & His Working Environment is Known As Ergonomic Design. *  Ergonomics - It Is an Activity , Which Amis To Improve the working Conditions / Environment Such That The Operator Can Work Comfortabl...

Design For Safety - Fundamentals of Design And Manufacturing - Group - A Amie

                                   Design For Safety A Fail - Safe Design Is One That Will Not Lead To Accidents . * Factor Of Safety Is The Strength to Load . * Safety Is An Important Factor coz., Humans Do Not Function Properly And The Design Invariable Take Into Account The Human Errors. * Engineers And Designers Are Concerned About Aspects of Safety. * Providing Minute Details and safety Instructions Is Not Enough. * We Cannot Blame Users For Not Following The Instructions. * Hence, Products Are Required To Work In Real Life Situations , Allowing For Human Errors. * Safety Standards For Products - * As Safe As Possible . * Safe According To The Industry - Wise Standards. * Safe If Used In The Manner & Situations Specified In The Instructions. * Safe for The Child Who May Behave Impulsively.

Synectics

Problem Solving Methodology -  Synectics Synectics is a Creativity Technique i.e , closely Related To Brainstorming. § Synectics Was Developed By George m . Prince & William J.J . Gordan in 1950s. § Synectics Is Joining Together Of Different & apparently Irrelevant Elements. § Drawing An Comparison between Parallel Or Dissimilar Topics.   § Synectics Session Consists Of a Group Of 6 People. Out Of Which 3 Are From Company Itself and Remaining 3 Are From outside. § In Synectics The Use Of Analogical Thinking Has Been Formalized (made)  In creative Design Method. § Here problem Owner Describes The Problem In Terms Of Wishes , i.e., Expressed As “I WISH “…. And The Group Generates As Many Solutions And Approaches As possible. § Then The Group / Problem Owner Focuses On The Most Promising Ideas or Solutions . § Brainstorming Or Idea Generating Techniques May Be Used To Help Along The Solution Process. § ...

Need And Need Analysis - Importance Of Need Analysis

                                    What Is Need Analysis? — Need  Analysis  Is  About  Understanding  Different  Needs Of   Different  Peoples  Involved  In  A  Design  Process.  [Who has the need? Is The Need Logical? What Is  The Real Need? What Can Be Done to Resolve the Need?]                     Why Need Analysis Is Important? — Need   Analysis Acts As A Bridge To Reach Destination of Product Easily . — [Concepts/ Ideas -------B-R-I-D-G-E-------Final /Full Product] — It Is The First Step In Every Design Process. — Different People Involved In Design Process They Can Be Customer, They Can Be Manufacturer, They Can Be Distributor Have Different Needs From Their Point of  View. — Which May Seem Incompatible. But Can Be Very Im...

Design By evolution

Design By evolution ž Or Traditional design ž It Means Making Slight Modifications In Exiting Designs ž In The Past Designs Used To Evolve Over Long Spans Of Time. The Leisurely Pace of Technological Change Reduced The Risk Of Making Major Errors. ž A Designer Does Not Require Much Of Its Analytical Capabilities. ž Example- Development Of Bicycle From Its Crank Operated Version To Its Present Day Chain And Sprocket Version, Took Almost More Than A Century. ž As We Can See Bicycle Already Exists from More Than A century And Its Present Version Only With A Slight Modifications That  Too Took A Very Long Time. ž This Was Typical “Example Of Design By Evolution” . Disadvantages Of Design By Evolution ž Unsuitability For Mass Production. ž Limited to Village Level i.e., limited to Smaller Areas . Unacceptable At Urban Level i.e., Cannot Serve The Needs Of Larger Areas. ž More Wastage Less Use. ž Difficulty in Modi...
