Key Business Goals/Project Deliverables The primary business goals of this product are to use this product to provide a stable source of employment for our work force, thus contributing in a positive and sustainable way to our community in a rural area of upstate New York. increase the market share of our packaging company, which manufactures a wide range of containers and packaging in the food industry. increase market share of the beverage makers who purchase our containers, thus creating a strong affinity for the use of our packaging products throughout the beverage makers' market line. Primary Market /Project Opportunities The primary market for this beverage container are the parents of children in grades K-3 in the United States of America. Secondary Market /Project Opportunities Secondary markets for these beverage containers may be non-school uses of the containers, such as sporting events (youth soccer leagues, etc.) and for other age groups. However, the product design should be focused on school uses for grades K-3. Additional market areas may require significant redesign of the product. Stakeholders Stakeholders in the design of our product include the following: The ultimate consumers The staff and teachers affiliated with the school, such as Beverage Manufacturers and Bottlers / Wholesalers Beverage Retailers The Community in which our packaging plant resides The Communities in which our consumers reside Slide 4 EDGE Phase 1: Concept Development Identify Customer Needs - Interviews Primary Customer(s) Quantify Indicate who you have already interviewed, and what you have learned. Indicate who you plan to interview, and when, where and how you will capture the resulting information. Other Stakeholder(s) Quantify Indicate who you have already interviewed, and what you have learned. Indicate who you plan to interview, and when, where and how you will capture the resulting information. Past Senior Design Team(s) Quantify Identify any and all senior design teams from the past or under way now that may have a connection to your project. What resources already exist that you can draw upon? What hardware, software, design, data, customer interviews, case studies, and other information already exist? What do you learn from that data. Note that this task is usually overlooked by many DPM students, and they end up re-doing a lot of work that has already been done. Take advantage of past knowledge just make sure to cite your sources very thoroughly. List all visits completed, in process, and pending. Slide 5 EDGE Roadmap Context Most senior design projects are one part of a larger family of related projects. Demonstrate where this particular project fits into the larger family of projects. If multiple DPM students are working on closely related projects, you may wish to consolidate multiple project updates into a single comprehensive presentation for the entire family of projects. Avoid the pitfall of having your project being isolated and not part of a larger picture Slide 6 EDGE Phase 1: Concept Development Identify Customer Needs - Interpret Needs Statements: 1.Express the need in terms of WHY the customer would spend money on this product. 2.Express the need in terms of WHAT the product has to do for the customer, not in terms of how the product might do it. 3.Express the need as specifically as the raw data. 4.Use positive phrasing 5.Express the needs as attributes of the product Graphical Interpretation 1.Propose a first draft affinity diagram based on your raw data collected 2.Propose a first draft objective tree based on your interpretation of the data collected 3.Propose a first draft function tree based on your proposed functional approach to the problem Organize the Needs into a Hierarchy 1.Propose a first draft based on your data collected Establish the Relative Importance of the Needs 1.Propose a first draft based on your data collected Reflect on the Results and the Process 1.Propose a first draft based on your data collected Slide 7 EDGE Affinity Diagram Raw data from Customers and Stakeholders Slide 8 EDGE Objective Tree Why Does the Customer Need this Product?
