A coffee machine design project through innovative methods: QFD, value analysis and design for assembly
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: This work is a sample of designing a simple object, just like a coffee machine, using innovative methodologies as Quality Function Deployment, Value Analysis and Design for Assembly. These are three methods which serve to improve quality during the process of design; they are part of the famous designing technique which is named Concurrent Engineering. The first one, QFD, is structuring all the information which come along with each design project; the second one, Value Analysis, is about the evaluation of all the costs that our project implicates; the last one, Design for Assembly, is a methodology oriented to direct the design process towards the exemplification of all the components' shapes: in this way, we can obtain a product easy to be assembled.
