Task analysis
Anthropometrics
User group
Looking at the user group for anthropometrics is very important as i will need to look at the age of the user group as well as many other aspects. This is because an elderly person may need different anthropometrics compared to a young person.
Posture
The posture is important as i will need to look at existing products and conduct research to check there measurements required for the user
Reach
Reach is also important as the product must be in reach with the user otherwise the product may not work for the consumer depending on what the product actually is.
Weight
The weight of the user and the weight of the product are important for the user because if the product cant hold up a person such as a chair collapses on them then the product would be a failure
Clearance
Clearance in anthropometrics is important, this is because if the product is something like a table or a chair there needs to be enough clearance for the consumer to actually work and use the product.
Strength
The strength of the product is also important as the product must be strong enough for the user to use correctly and also it must be strong enough to hold together.
Quality
Low
If the product has a low quality finish i will then have to create a better product with a high quality finish, otherwise i wouldnt want to sell the product to the consumer as it wouldnt be worth while if i did all that work and the product broke in their hands.
High
The product will need to have a high quality finish so that it will work properly and the consumer wont disapprove of the product when it has been built.
Control
Quality control is essential to the product as i need to make sure that all of the products stages are correct and that arent any problems with the product. Otherwise the product may be a failure as it could fail on the consumer.
Approve
I will have to approve of the product once it has been made. This will then allow me to see if there are any bad parts of the product.
Varnish
I would probably want to apply a varnish onto the end product so that the product has a protective layer onto it so that it will be protected for future use.
Assurance
Assurance means that something will happen or it will be true to its word. So if i say that the product will have a high finish, it will and should have a high finish when the product has been built.
Innovation
Modular
The product could be modular this means each of a set of standardized parts or independent units that can be used to construct a more complex structure, such as an item of furniture or a building. So this could help the product to make it better for manufacturing.
Foldable
I might want to make the product fold-able. This is so that it can be space saving and the consumer could take the product around with them or put the product somewhere where the product needs to be folded in order to fit.
Mulitfunctional
The product could and probably have multiple functions. This is so that it can be a good selling point for the consumer so that they would potentially want to buy the product.
Manufacturing methods
Making the method of it could fit in with being innovative as the method of making it could be innovative. This could be by using a new method of building things such as a laser printer etc.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability sort of fits in with fold-ability so if i can make the product fold-able it would also help with manoeuvrability. I could also make the product lightweight or small or both so that the product can be manoeuvrable.
Ergonomics
Comfort
The comfort of the product doesn't really need to be that of a concern as the product is space saving and i will probably look down the route of a table so it doesn't need to be comfortable but it also shouldn't hurt the user
Function
The ergonomics of the function mean that the product needs to fit the consumer and the function then needs to fit the consumer.
Maintenance
The maintenance of the product needs to be easy for the consumer so that it isnt too hard. I also think that it depends on who the consumer.
Ease of use
With ergonomics the product needs to be easy to use for the consumer and the ease of use of the product needs to be easy. However it depends on who the consumer is if it is a child or an elderly person then the product may need to be easy to use but if the consumer is a capable adult then the product might not need to be as straight forward.
Time
Producing the product
I think that producing the product will take around 2 months to make and i think that if i want to get the correct finish on the product then i would want this amount of time to produce the product.
Completing the folder
Completing the folder work will take until May 2019, which is the deadline so i will need to make sure that everything in the folder is completed.
Producing the prototype
I think that producing the prototype will take around 1 to 2 months to complete the number of prototypes that i need to complete for my final product to be right. I also think that it may take longer because if i get something wrong in my prototype then i can fix it in my prototypes.
