Dr. Parmigiani, I thought I'd send you a message and let you know where I've ended up since college…
… As you may recall I took senior project from you a few years back and did the human powered vehicle project … …Since I left I know that you've moved towards a fusing of industrial and mechanical engineering. My experience so far supports that move as I am constantly required to think of how the parts will be made and how they will fit into to our stream of labor and lean manufacturing etc. In a constant push to make more things faster,without sacrificing quality (and who wouldn't want that) I find myself more concerned with process improvements than product improvements and also more excited about them…

House of QualityHouse of QualityOverviewOverview
• Provides a concise diagram of project requirements
• Constructed in three parts in this course
• Part 1: CRs & Weightings
• Part 2: ERs & Targets/Tolerances
• Part 3: Testing Plans & Design Links
• Part 1: Done (but can be changed this term w/out petition, just get signatures)
• Part 2: Next
• Status meeting 2 (draft to discuss)
• Progress report 2 (revised draft, hand-in for review)
• Preliminary Proposal (final version, with signatures)

Customer Requirements (CRs)
• A complete listing, in the “language of the sponsor”, of what must be done• Each CR deals with one concept (e.g. don’t group “Small” and “Lightweight”) • Example: “Device must be lightweight”• One sponsor requirement may generate several CR’s (e.g. “Portable”)• Must be approved by team, sponsor mentor, faculty advisor, course instructor• Project scope defined in CR's ... pay close attention!
Weightings
• Indicate relative importance of each CR (greater weighting more important)• Total of 250 points to distribute among CRs (i.e. sum of all weightings = 250)• Example: “Device must be lightweight” given weighting of 50. • Low Technical Effort (LTE) CRs: Not given numerical weighting, but must be met.• Must be approved by team, sponsor mentor, faculty advisor, course instructor• Very important in grading Evaluation 1 and Evaluation 2 in winter term

Engineering Requirements (ERs)
• Define CRs in terms of technical, measurable specifications• Generated from Customer Requirements (One CR may generate several ERs)• Ex.: CR “Device must be lightweight” maps to ER “Weighs less than 20 lb”• Used in specifying and evaluating design concepts• Must be approved by team, sponsor mentor, faculty advisor, course instructor• Ability to properly test and satisfy ERs constitutes 50% of winter term grade

Target (w/ tolerance)
• The Target is the design-to value for an ER (value to use in calculations)• The Tolerance (+/- value, <>, etc.) defines the amount of permissible variation• Example: ER “Weighs less than 20 lb” has Target “15lb”, Tolerance “<20lb”• ER satisfied if test result = target value within tolerance• Must be approved by team, sponsor mentor, faculty advisor, course instructor• Don’t use the extreme-permitted ER value as the design-to value!

• Requirement from Sponsor All control knobs labeled in English, German, and French• Customer Requirements All control knobs labeled in English, German, and French• Weighting LTE (Low Technical Effort)• Engineering Requirements All control knobs labeled in English, German, and French• Target & Tolerance N/A • Test Plan (Summary) 4. Professor from German / French depts. verifies labels meet needs• Design Link (Summary) 4. Describe how label material selection and size are appropriate
• Requirement from Sponsor Water flow rate of 10 cu-in / min
• Customer Requirements Water flow rate of at least 10 in3/min within 1 sec. of activation, never a flow rate greater than 20 in3/min (2 CRs)
• Weighting 30, 35• Engineering Requirements Flow > 10 in3/min within 1 sec, Flow < 20 in3/min (2 ERs)• Target 12 in3/min in 0.8 sec, maximum flow of 17 in3/min.• Tolerance >10 in3/min , <1 sec, <20 in3/min• Test Plan (summary) 5. Using flow meter and timing device, measure flow rates.• Design Link (summary) 5 & 6 Describe how piping, pump, and valve selection satisfies these ERs
Status Meeting 2Status Meeting 2Status Meeting 2Status Meeting 2
• Same schedule as Status Meeting 1
• Bring written draft of HoQ Part 2
• CRs & Weightings
• ERs & TTs
• Bring documentation (drawings, sketches, plans) of alternate designs you are considering … the results of brainstorming sessions … a which you intend to pursue
Failure to conduct a satisfactory status meeting will result in a 35 point penalty
