name all the product design factors pfc u e/c m Lr s t i&c
purpose function context, user centred design economics/cost materials legal responsibilities visual tactile aesthetic sustainability technologies innovation and creativity
purpose function context product attributes are
primary functions and secondary functions of the product.
eg. the ability to perform
user entered design product attributes
making the product user friendly and ergonomic to the user/s and safe for them to use
cost / value product attributes
this is making the product have a balance between the quality and the price of the product
visual tactile aesthetic product attributes
what it is made of and the visual appearance of the product. (elements and principals)
sustrainability product attributes
what is the products environmental, social and economical impact on its value to the consumer
quality product attributes
how well the product suits its primary function and purpose. his can be the materials used, sustainability or durability/strength.
quality product attributes
how well the product suits its primary function and purpose. his can be the materials used, sustainability or durability/strength.
attributes of a “new” product
this product will be better/higher quality, more reliable, and are of relevance to the style and times when produced.
attributes of “old” products
cost less, he reliability of the product will be less product may be obsolesce
how are products evaluated
with quantitive and qualitative data.
what is quantitative data
is numerical information such was data sourced from a large number of people. it is measurable and can be tested.
what is qualitative data
subjective information gathered by a smaller group usually in written form being stories or opinions.
what are the product design factors that help measure when comparing products pf a q c s
primary function \ secondary aesthetics quality cost\prive\value sustainability
How do standards ensure the safety, consistency and quality of products?
The standards determine the safety and quality of the product which creates a guideline for designers and businesses when creating a product.
what is certification?
both international and australian standards which are used to test weather the product performs to the intended primary function
What does ISO stand for ?
International standard of organisation
What are mandatory standards?
Contents, performance and methods of manufacturing
what are contents - mandatory standard
Content standards are very important as the contents can be flammable or poisonous
what are perfomance monitory standards
The performance of the product needs to be exactly how advertised or designed to ensure quality
define attribute
a quality or feature regarded as a characteristic of a product
define analyse
to examine critically, so as to bring out the essential elements
define evaluate
to judge or determine the quality of the product
define user trials
user trials can be carried out with person and product and collecting data or feedback.
define compare
estimate, measure, or note the similarity or dissimilarity between
what is expert appraisal
is the process in which a product is chosen in comparison with expert knowledge
where is expert appraisal applied in the product design process?
in the evaluation as the product is tested and trialed in its certification (how well it performs)
pfc parameters
Includes the reason or need for a product, in the context and environment of its use.
user centred design parameters
End-user/s’ problems or needs identified to improve quality of life. this includes culture and religion, age, economic status etc
Innovation and creativity parameters
creative approach to develop new or improved solutions to problems
Visual, tactile and aesthetic parameters
Relate to the product’s form, appearance and feel. includes the elements and principals
Sustainability parameters
to maintain and sustain the social, economic and environmental systems in the product design nd manufacturing process.
economic parameters
Costing a product takes into account materials, labour and use of equipment and machinery
Legal responsibilities parameters
ip
iso
oh&s
intellectual property (IP) particularly Patents and Design Registration; Australian and International (ISO) standards organisation, regulations and legislation (including OH&S). Products must be produced safely and be safe for the end-user/s.
Materials parameters
Materials are selected for use based on their properties
Technology parameters
Suitable and accurate tools, equipment, machines, are selected in production / manufacturing
what is the importance of new products
to be unique and innovative and styled to the current trends. iPhone 12 > iPhone 4
what is certifications
certification is what you seek that has the specifications that it is a legal and certified product. it is a care label too - Australian Standards, Fair trade
geca -
