Consider the following problem statement and state whether it is adequate or not, giving reasons. Also state the next steps in the design process.
Design a table for the CEO of a large company. It should have a drawer for pencils, pens, erasers, and other stationery items, a drawer for high-value items 1 (e.g., the keys of the safe), and a drawer for arranging important documents currently under review. There should be ample space on the tabletop to keep three or four open documents as well as hand and leg spaces for two persons sitting opposite to the CEO. There should be provision for and space for a desk lamp. The table should be attractive and act as a status symbol for the company.
The given statement for the design is adequate or not.
Explanation of Solution
No, the statement is not adequate.
Because the statement gives most of the important information but not all of them, some very important instructions are missing. Like table should have sufficient space the computer of the CEO and for the laptops of the two visitors as well. Table should also have a drawer to arrange the documents which are already been reviewed. Design brief should also have a target price for the table, though in this case it can be very high but it should have some target price.

ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS
- I need help with parts b and c (see images). This is the complete question and not a writing assignment. Make sure for this problem you list the following: a. Known: State briefly what is known about the problem. b. Schematic: Draw a schematic of the physical system or control volume. c. Assumptions: List all necessary assumptions used to complete the problem. d. Properties: Identify the source of property values not given to you in the problem. e. Find: State what must be found. f. Analysis: Start your analysis with any necessary equations. Develop your analysis as completely as possible before inserting values and performing the calculations. Draw a box around your answers and include units and follow an appropriate number of significant figures.arrow_forwardare you able to upload a word document for example as a solution to a question?arrow_forwardFIGURE Q2 shows an aluminum impeller with an outer diameter of 75 mm. As a manufacturing engineer in 3DP-Engineering Sdn. Bhd. you are initially required to write a comprehensive proposal to convince and justify, based on engineering and economics fundamental, to your Production Manager to initially produce a metal prototype. You are required to justify why a metal prototype would be advantages to the company and what additive manufacturing technology would be the best option. In the next manufacturing planning stage, you are required to propose to 3DP-Engineering the best method to mass manufacture 500 pieces of good quality aluminium impellers. Your proposal should evaluate and determine the best casting method based on economic and engineering fundamentals as well. Your Production Manager also requires you to include the proposed process flow, predict potential defects, and means to overcome these defects. Additionally, the Production Manager also requires you to propose with…arrow_forward

Quality can also be defined as "conformance to specifications". In theory, if you create the right specifications and then manufacture a product that meets these specifications, you should achieve customer satisfaction. Consider the following four scenarios for a particular product: A) Conforms to specifications and is competitive in its adequacy. B) Conforms to specifications and is not competitive in its suitability. C) It does not conform to specifications and is competitive in its education. D) Does not conform to specifications and is not competitive in its education. Which of these are not, in theory, feasible, but in practice occur and cause a lot of conceptual confusion? Can you cite some examples?arrow_forward

David Aquino, engineering director, started out the day uptight. His young child had the flu the night before, and he had been up all night to help. Upon arrival at his office, David had to make urgent phone calls to approve a two-week overtime work plan due to a plant fire the night before and to plan for a product committee meeting the next day to counter environmental concerns about a wastewater treatment plant. Then he spent 30 minutes reviewing the qualifications of new candidates and decided on one. He asked for salary information and wanted to examine the offer before it was sent. He asked for further justification for the budget requested by industrial engineering for a minicomputer. Without reading it, he approved the research proposal from material engineering. He rejected an invitation to speak at a regional meeting of the Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers by giving an untrue reason. David made a note for the…arrow_forwardPlease write solution neatly and if scanning pages, please make sure the writing is distunguishable from the background. Please use graph attached.
