Group in teams of a maximum of 3 students. A unique design is not only about one great idea, but it's also about the way you realize the idea in real life. Every designer's creation must fit perfectly into our life as they are made by people for people. 2. Think about a task that you have encountered in your life and you have thought... "I wish somebody invented something for this". Then think about how many other people like you might feel the same. With this in mind, your objective for this assignment is to create a product that can solve an issue but at the same time that can be profitable. 3. Develop the product concept including the following sections: 1. Identifying customer needs: The goal of this activity is to understand customers' needs and to effectively communicate them to the development team. The output of this step is a set of carefully constructed customer need statements, organized in a hierarchical list, with importance weightings for many or all of the needs. Special attention is paid to the identification of latent needs, which are difficult for customers to articulate and unaddressed by existing products. 2. Establishing target specifications: Specifications provide a precise description of what a product has to do. They are the translation of the customer needs into technical terms. Targets for the specifications are set early in the process and represent the hopes of the development team. Later these specifications are refined to be consistent with the constraints imposed by the team's choice of a product concept. The output of this stage is a list of target specifications. Each specification consists of a metric and marginal and ideal values for that metric. 3. Concept generation: The goal of concept generation is to thoroughly explore the space of product concepts that may address the ENG INGateway X D21 Assignment Instructions Product X G sketch of a bottle for temperatur x trioscollege.brightspace.com/d21/le/content/31550/viewContent/1391620/View YouTube Maps New Tab 2.

Concept generation: The goal of concept generation is to thoroughly explore the space of product concepts that may address the customer needs. Concept generation includes a mix of external search, creative problem solving within the team, and systematic exploration of the various solution fragments the team generates. The result of this activity is usually a set of 10 to 20 concepts, each typically represented by a sketch and brief descriptive text. 4. Concept selection: Concept selection is the activity in which various product concepts are analyzed and sequentially eliminated to identify the most promising concept(s). The process usually requires several iterations and may initiate additional concept generation and refinement. You are required to describe why and how did you decide on the concept selected. 5. Concept testing: One or more concepts are then tested to verify that the customer needs have been met, assess the market potential of the product, and identify any shortcomings that must be remedied during further development. If the customer response is poor, the development project may be terminated or some earlier activities may be repeated as necessary. 6. Benchmarking of competitive products: An understanding of competitive products is critical to the successful positioning of a new product and can provide a rich source of ideas for the product and production process design. Competitive benchmarking is performed in support of many of the front-end activities. 10 ENG (DELL IN DELL
