Sustainable

Perhaps replaceable parts for more convinience if there are some broken areas

In order to produce less wastes when manufacturing, need to ensure that things are planned accordingly, so that no extra materials are wasted

Health and Safety

No sharp edges, as dogs may hurt themselves as they use the product

Wood needs to be sanded down, so that it will not cause blisters or any accidental cuts when people are holding the bed, or when the pets are using it

Should be similar to the existing or similar products

Use recycleable materials as far as possible, so if there was a mistake, materials would not be wasted

Roughly around RM 60 and above, up to a 100+, depending on the materials used as well as the time taken to make the product

Adults are the ones who is most likely to be buying this product, because they have a stable income unlike children or students

This product is obviosly targeted on pet owners,

Dog beds are everywhere, so product needs to be special and stand-out, in order for the target to buy this product. Therefore, I chose multipurpose dog bed

Use recycleable material as far as possible

Product should be made mostly of wood, as they are easy to put together and structure. However, there may be some part where plastics are used as well as other durable materials

Materials chosen should be durable, use them as far as possible. This is because product should be long lasting.

The coated paint should be non-toxic, as dogs may lick them and cause a result of injuries. Small parts should not be included, because dogs may end up chewing parts of the product.

Though there are many exiting products, designs are very simple and ideas are different. Product should be unique and therefore different from all of them

To gather all the parts and materials for manufacturing should take days, and for putting everything together (a complete product) could take up to months of work, perhaps 1-2 months. Depending on the lessons and time we have, this varies.
