APSC 101 Final Notes

Risk Sources (3)

• Preventable

  • Risks that teams can manage and control

• Strategic

  • Risks knowingly taken for potential rewards

• External

  • Outside of the teams control, must be considered

Risk Types (4)

• Safety

  • Related to health and wellbeing of people and environment

• Technical

  • Design and manufacture, ensuring the solution works as intended

• Project Management

  • Completion of project on time and with budget

• Operational

  • Decision making on the operation and use of the device

Risk Categorization Table

• Horizontal categories: Risk Sources (external, preventable, strategic)

• Vertical categories: Risk Types (safety, technical… etc)

Risk Management Approaches

1. Avoid

   • Change what you are doing to remove the risk entirely

   • Ex. Stopping the project, changing ideas

2. Mitigate

   • Try to minimize likelihood, severity or both

   • Ex. Changing certain aspects of your design

3. Transfer

   • Pass the risk to someone else

   • Ex. Insurance

4. Accept

   • Be willing to live with the consequences of your risk

   • Ex. Doing nothing

Transitioning through Tuckman

1. F→S

   • Time spent working together, leadership

2. S → N

   • Open Communication, real friendships, desire to improve

3. N → P

   • Willingness to face conflict

   • Valuing team relationships and accomplishments

4. Bad Norming → Good Norming

   • Courage to speak up against unfairness

Principal View Projection

• View from main sides: top, front, end

Orthographic Drawings

• Third Angle Projection

  • Top view above front view, right view to the right of front view

Title Block

1. Units of dimensions

2. Uncertainties of dimensions

3. Symmetric symbol: 3rd angle projection

4. Who created and checking the drawing and when

5. Material and quality of surface finish of item

6. Drawing Scale (1:1)

7. Name and number of drawing

8. Current drawing version

Implicit Biases:

• Subconscious stereotypes about groups, learned through seen patterns

Microaggressions:

• Small, subtle or indirect discriminatory actions or statements

Stereotype Threat:

• When people feel concerned about conforming to a stereotype for a group they belong to

3 Types of Feedback

1. Appreciation

   • Acknowledge job well done

2. Coaching

   • Help someone improve

3. Evaluation

   • Rate someone’s performance against standards

3×3 Feed Back Model

LCA Main Stages

1. Goal definition and scope

   • Defining system boundary, and which life cycle stages are we considering

2. Inventory Analysis

   • Tracking material influx and outflux, waste, manufacturing processes, etc.

3. Impact Assessment

   • Assessing environmental impacts

   • Established environmental impact metrics

4. Interpretation (All throughout)

   • Displaying our data (bar graph)

Categories of an SLCA considered

1. Resources Used

2. Waste Generated

3. Energy Used

4. Public Health

SLCA Sequence

Raw Materials → Production → Distribution→ Use → End of Life

Stakeholder Engagement

All throughout design process

1. Engage

   • Design, implement, and commit to processes of engagements that give stakeholders to opportunity to change their future

2. Learn

   • Understand and hear all perspectives

3. Synthesize

   • Integrate new stakeholder input in decisions, and tweak the project to suit them longterm

Satisfaction Curves:

Only looks at satisfaction for a certain aspect.

• X Axis: Attribute

  • Something of importance to the stakeholder

• Y Axis: Satisfaction

  • We are trying to maximize

• Minimum should be at zero (The minimum required)

• In between should be what they want/need

• Maximum should be more than needed

Graph Types

1. Pump Supply Pressure

   • Curves downwards

2. Line to storage tank

   • Upwards with positive offset (due to elevation gain)

3. Storage tank

   • Constant

4. Line to house

   • Curves upwards starting from origin

Increasing Polynomial Order

r² decreases
