Problem Analysis Activity: Material Selection for Project Success

Instructions: Read the problem below carefully. Analyze the situation using what you learned from the lesson and answer
the guiding questions that follow.

🔧 Problem Scenario:

Your class was tasked with building a small electronic device — a temperature sensor with a display. The project is part of
your final performance task, and it must pass a quality check before being graded. Your group was assigned to purchase
the materials and begin assembly.

During the planning phase, you made the following decisions:

You bought cheap wires that are thin and easily heat up.

You chose an LCD screen from an unknown brand that was ₱300 cheaper than the more reliable one.

You didn’t inspect or test the materials upon delivery.

You skipped writing a receiving form to save time.

After assembling the project:

The LCD screen flickers and eventually stops working.

The wires melted slightly after long use, giving off a burnt smell.

Your group had no documentation to support where the materials came from or if they were tested.

Your teacher points out the issues and asks your group to explain what went wrong and how to fix it.

📝 Guide Questions for Analysis:

What mistakes did your group make in terms of:

Material selection

Material testing

Cost vs. quality considerations

Documentation and receiving process

Based on the lesson, what are the important factors that should have been considered when buying materials for the
project?

What could have been done to prevent the LCD failure and wire safety issue?

Why is it important to inspect and record received materials using forms like a receiving form?

How does proper material selection and documentation relate to product safety and quality control?

If given another chance, what steps will your group take to avoid these problems in the future?
