WVU ENGR 101 FINAL

5-step design process

1. Define

2. Imagine

3. Evaluate

4. create

5. test

And as always improve

Define

Clear, Concise, unambiguous definition of the problem to be solved.

Ask what is known about the problem. Background research is required

Imagine

To Creatively develop as many potential solutions to the problem as possible. The major method of generating multiple ideas is called creative problem solve and uses the technique called brainstorming

Evaluate

Eliminating duplicates, allowing clarifying questions, asking for preliminary valuation by a vote, analysis using basic engineering principles and laws. Computer analysis, estimation, analysis of compatibility, commonsense, economic analysis, conservative assumption,

Create

Who scale models or prototypes, scale models, diagrams are graphs, computer models, mathematical models,

Test

Function, form, safety, ease of manufacture, strength, reliability, durability, end of life, quality consistency, consistency of testing.

Why work in teams

•Collaborative power

•Complexity of problems

•Multitude of design parameters

•Global markets and operations

•Short time to market means concurrent engineering

•Project management is team approach

organizational structures

1.Traditional team structure

2. participative team structure

3. seared leadership team structure

4. the relationship between a student directed team and their instructor,

leadership styles

Task oriented leader and people oriented leader

Task oriented leader

Directions given to employees to get things done and to ensure that organizational goals are met

people oriented leader

Is warm and supportive toward team members, develops rapport with team, respects the feelings of the followers, is sensitive to team members needs and shows trust in followers.

team growth

1. Forming

2. storming

3. norming

4. performing

5. Adjourning

Forming

Group members get to know each other and reach common understanding

Storming

•Reality of work load sets in

•Cliques/ factions form

•Leaders emerge

•Must remain professional

•Conflict is common

•Some conflict is good, some not good

Norming

•Some teams never get past "storming"

•Not all team members arrive here at same time

•Put disagreements aside

•Get down to the work

•Good teams become

•Closer

•Work to strengths

•More productive

Performing

•Team members work together

•Anticipate other's needs

•Pitch in to help accomplish goals

•Not all teams reach this stage

Adjourning

Preparing for disbandment

cultural differences

Recognize cultural values and assumptions, Emphasis on individual or the group, preferences for equality or hierarchy, experience of time.

project management tools

1. Gantt chart

2. FMEA

3. PERT Charts

4. Fishbone Diagrams

5. WBS Work Breakdown Structure

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

1. Each task in sequence

2. Duration (Start and End Dates)

3. Resource (Who's responsible)

Gantt chart

Graphical Representation of Tasks, Must have uniform time scale, Many optional representations possbile

Gantt Chart advantages

●Manage Critical Path

●Focus attention

●Shows dependencies

●Spot potential bottlenecks

●Communication

Gantt chart limitations

●Shows TIME not EFFORT

●Predictive, imprecise

●Can become large and complex

●Only one of many tools

triple constraints

time, cost, scope

Scope

1. Customer Satisfaction

2. Target

3. Specification

critical path

the sequence of activities in a project that is expected to take the longest to complete

project driver

Scope

milestones

formal project review points used to assess progress and performance

role of the project manager

1. Planning the work or objectives

2. Analysis & Design of objectives

3. Risk management

4. Allocation of resources

5. Organizing the work

6. Acquiring human and material resources

7. Assigning tasks

8. Directing activities

9. Controlling project execution

10. Tracking and Reporting progress

11. Analyzing the results based on the facts achieved

12. Defining the products of the project

13. Forecasting future trends in the project

14. Quality Management

15. Issues Management

16. Defect prevention
