The Design Process Is Achieve by Following 10 Stages

The 10-stage design process involves identifying problems, defining goals, researching solutions, brainstorming ideas, analyzing options, developing models, selecting a design, specifying details, implementing the design, and reviewing the results. Engineers follow this process to solve problems by gathering customer needs, setting criteria, researching existing solutions, generating creative ideas, testing prototypes, making decisions based on factors like cost and safety, communicating specifications, commercializing products, and assessing outcomes.

The Design Process

The design process is achieve by following 10


stages.
1-Identify the problem/product innovation
2-Define the working criteria/goals
3-Research and gather data
4-Brainstorm / generate creative ideas
5-Analyze potential solutions

The Design Process


continue

6-Develop and test models


7-Make the decision
8-Communication and specify
9-Implement and commercialize
10-Perform post-implementation review and
assessment

Stage -1: Identifying the


problem/product innovation
Engineers are problem solver: and the
problems they solve are often identified as
the specific needs and problems of
customers
Example:
increased gas mileage
Safety devices for kid, monitors, etc..

Stage 2: Define the working


criteria and goals

How much will it cost?


Will it be difficult to produce?
What will be the size, weight, strength?
What will it look like?
Will it be easy to use?
Are there legal concerns?
Will it be reliable?

Stage 2: Define the working


criteria and goals
Continue

Will it meet the EPA standard?


Is this what the customer truly wanted?
Will our customers want to purchase it?
Will customers want to purchase this
version instead of a competitors product?
Is it feasible for our customer to buy it?

Stage 3: Research and gather


data
What information has been published about the
problem?
Is there a solution to the problem that already
may be available?
If the answer to the above is yes, who is
producing it?
What are the advantages of their solution?
What are the disadvantages to their solution?

Stage 3: Research and gather


data
Continue

What is the cost?


Is cost significant issue?
What is the ratio of time compared to overall
cost?
Are there legal issues to consider?
Are there environmental concerns which must
be considered?

Stage 3: Research and gather


data

Information can be obtained


Libraries
Professional Society
Journal, publications and newsletter
Newspapers and magazines
Market assessment surveys

Stage 3: Research and gather


data

Government publications
Patent searches and listings
Technical salespersons and their references
catalogs
Professional experts including researchers,
professors and other scientists
The competitions product (how they designed
it? Disassemble their product and study it

Stage 4: Brainstorm / Generate


creative ideas
Creative problem solving is a major method
of generating multiple ideas to a problem by
a technique called brainstorming
No preliminary judgments are made about
any members idea, and no negative
comments are allowed
The goal here is to list as many ideas as
possible

Stage 5: Analyze potential


solutions

Computer analysis technique


Analysis of compatibility
Consistency of testing
Estimation
Economic analysis
Common sense
Analysis using basic engineering principles and
laws

Stage 6: Develop and test models

Mathematical models
Computer models
Scale model
Diagrams or graphs
Durability
Ease assembly

Stage 8:Communication and


specify
Communicate data and design for each
specific solution and get input

Stage 9:Implement and


commercialize
Implement the best solution
Apply methods of business to for profit

Stage 10:Perform postimplementation review and


Check if the final product is giving you
assessment
what you actually wanted from
feasibility
and if the consumer like it, etc.
