Q

What are the three types of sensory analysis test

A

Ranking or rating testing - people asked to rank a number of products

Star diagrams - testers rate main characteristics of product on a scale of 1-5

Triangle testing - testers given three samples and asked to say which is the odd one out

Q

When do manufacturers use triangle testing

A

Trying to develop w cheap or low fat version of a food that tastes the same as the original - they taste two samples of the original and one of the new but aren’t told which is which.

Q

What happens if testers choose the correct product from a triangle test

Q

How do you do your sensory analysis properly

A

Target market testers
A quiet area
A sip of lemon water to cleanse pallet in between
Small amounts of food and clean spoons
Use codes or symbols for product so they aren’t influenced by name
Tasters should understand what they are doing

Why do companies spend so much time and money on consumer research

27
Q

What does the design brief include

A

An outline of the context and who it involves (tsrget group)
What kind of product is needed
How the product will be used

28
Q

What is the design brief

A

Explains why there’s a need for s new product it is short and to the point as a starting point for the development of the product

29
Q

What does the design brief help you decide

A

Which products to analyse and what you need to find out from market research

30
Q

What are the three stages of drawing a conclusion

A

Summarise what you have found out - the most important things
Explain what impact the research will have on your designs
Suggest ways forward from the research you’ve done

31
Q

What should the conclusions from your market research show

A

What kind of characteristics your product needs to have

32
Q

What is a design criteria

A

The required characteristics found from your market research

33
Q

What is a design specification

A

A list of design criteria

34
Q

What does the design criteria need to be

A

A few words for each point and related to your research

35
Q

What are good ways to brainstorm

A

Key words, questions, initial thoughts, design criteria, research conclusions
Don’t be too critical
Be creative and get as many ideas as possible
Use word association

36
Q

What could you mention and annotate in a product

A 
Material
User
Cost
Size
Shape
Advantages and disadvantages
37
Q

Why might you use a nutritional analysis software

A

Calculates nutritional content and any nutritional losses due to cooking
Tells you the recommended guidelines for your target market so it’s easy to see if you need to adjust to fit the design brief

38
Q

What does the product specification do

A

Describes the product, it says exactly what the product including figures and measurements is not what it is trying to do

39
Q

What should you include in your product specification

A 
How it will look
How it will taste
How it should be stored
Size and weight
Safety points
Cost
40
Q

What is intellectual property (IP)

A

Legally owning your idea like you own physical property

41
Q

What does registering different features of your design idea as intellectual property mean

A

The features are protected and can’t be stolen by anyone else

42
Q

If your idea is protected what do it give

A

Exclusive rights to develop your product and hopefully make you tons of money. If someone else wants to do the same thing they need permission and have to pay

43
Q

What happens if you don’t protect a design idea and it turns out to be successful

A

Anyone else can copy your idea and benefit from it

44
Q

What features can you register about your design idea to protect it

A

Shape,colour, texture, new ingredients, the recipe, the production process or the packaging

45
Q

How long can you protect your ideas for before anyone can develop them

A

20-25 years

46
Q

How can you develop your ideas

A

More detailed sketches to decide on the smaller details you hadn’t thought of before e.g arrangement
Practical experimentation with different aspects of the design leg brown sugar instead of caster
Use other people’s opinions about development

47
Q

What is trying out different versions of your design called

A

Modelling

48
Q

What is evaluating

A

Doing some tests to check its how you want it to be

49
Q

What could the evaluation checks cover

A

Appearance, texture, taste, smell or other things and against the design criteria

50
Q

What should, you use to record each model you make

A

Digital camera

51
Q

How do you compare each model fairly

A

Putting them through the same tests

52
Q

Why is development a vital part of the design process

A

It should be the stage you solve all potential problems with your design

53
Q

What could you try modifying in your design

A

The ingredients used (proportions or combinations)
The shape or size
The finish e.g a glaze

54
Q

What is an example of changing one thing about your design and needing to change something else

A

Bake a cake in a wide circular tin instead of a deep loaf shaped tin so the cake will be thinner and could burn easily so might need to alter cooking time or temperature

55
Q

What is the summary of how it works every time you make something new

A

Make a model -> taste, test and evaluate -> come up with ideas to improve product -> make s model

56
Q

What is the whole point of development

A

To find out what works and what doesn’t

57
Q

Why can’t you change the design specification/ criteria but can change the product specification

A

Because the product specification needs to meet the design criteria but if you change the design specification it probably won’t meet the design brief anymore

58
Q

What could a manufacturers specification be

A

A series of written statements or working drawings and sequence diagrams

59
Q

What should the manufacturers specification include

A 
How to make it
A list of ingredients
The dimensions
Tolerances - maximum and minimums 
Finishing details
Quality control instructions - checks needing to  be made
Costing
60
Q

What is a good way of writing tolerances

A

+ 1

-

61
Q

What are good for working out coatings

A

Spreadsheets

62
Q

What do you need to plan once you get to the production process

A

How long it will take
Any changes needed to make it suitable for mass production
What needs to be prepared before you can start each stage
How you’ll ensure consistency and quality

63
Q

What is a work order

A

Produced as a table or flow chart its purpose is to plan each task in sequence and should include quality control checks.

Start and end of flow chart with a sausage shaped box
Processes go in rectangular boxes

Decisions go in diamond shaped boxes - shows where quality should be check

64
Q

What is a Gantt chart

A

A time plan. The tasks are listed in order down the left hand side and the timing plotted across the top. The coloured squares show how Long each task takes. Some tasks may overlap .eg make icing while cake is in oven.

65
Q

When you’ve finished the final product what should you do

A

Test it to make sure it meets the original design criteria

66
