How much does it cost to manufacture

The first working model of a design used for testing, development and evaluation. Made before manufacture of a product, it allows the designer to test, work out size materials processes etc. before any money is spent on manufacturing. Allows changes to be made due to client/customer feedback, budget, manufacturing processes, aesthetics, material supply or testing.

A statement (set of instructions) given by the client to the designer on the the design problem the need to solve. Includes information about target market, limitations and constraints, the product, materials and manufacturing processes.

Focus groups, questionnaires, interviews, product analysis, market research, books, internet, client feedback, consumer trends and needs of target market. This is then used to inform the designs.

A plan that will include production budget, timeline, manufacturing processes, materials and components needed to create final product. It may also outline what methods and stages you will use as you progress through the design cycle e.g. customer surveys, analysing existing products, testing.

Describes or lists a product's required characteristics and all the processes, materials and other information needed to design the product. User needs, function, size, aesthetics, costs, materials and environmental concerns. A list of requirements that the product has to meet in order to be successful e.g. ACCESSFMM.

Initial sketches, 2D and 3D of ideas for the product; development of ideas and then final design idea. Methods used free hand sketches, isometric, oblique, orthographic and CAD (Computer Aided Design)

A list of what you need to manufacture (make) the product including time line, materials, sizes, components, manufacturing processes, quality control checks and health and safety requirements.

Means that a product is designed to be manufactured and assembled without errors. The design is produced in such a way that it cannot be misused or assembled incorrectly. This ensures safe use and easy assembly.

Test physically and virtually whether the design works, functions properly, is safe to use and is ready to be produced.

Review the product, check it against the design brief and specification, client/customer requirements.

The method by which the product will be produced: One off, batch, mass or just in time production.

A group of people who are the target market of a product whose opinions are sought.

Inspire, Design, Optimise, Validate

Gathering data and information about consumer needs and preferences.

Analysing the form and function of a product.

The group of people a product is made for.

In business, a client is a person or organisation that wants a product manufactured, e.g. a retailer.

Person responsible for designing and developing ideas for a product that could be developed into a prototype and eventually manufactured.

A mnemonic that designers use to help them analyse and create specifications for products. (Aesthetics, Cost, Customer, Environment: Working Environment & Environmental issues, Size, Safety, Function, Materials & Manufacturing Processes)

A personal comment based on the five senses describing the way a product looks, feels, sounds, tastes or smells.

The person who will use the product

The materials used in the product,

The manufacturing methods and processes used in making the product

How much does the product cost to manufacture or buy

Size of the product given in mm. (length, height, width, diameter)

How safe is the product. Consideration of safety regulations and legislation

The impact the product has on the environment (materials, design, manufacture, use). Life cycle analysis from extraction of raw materials, manufacture, transport, use and recycling.

Focus groups, surveys, needs of target market, consumer trends, existing products

What the client (customer) needs the product to do,. This will cover how it is used, the working environment it is used in.

A group of people who fit the target market criteria, who the designer will use to comment on designs

The amount of money allocated to spend on the project

The person or the company who give the Designer the Design Brief to solve

The customer or target market who will use the product

Outlines in an organised way what it is you're are making, components, sizes, materials, processes, tools and machines, time frames, quality control checks, health and safety

Massed produced products that are easily available and make it easy to manufacture, repair or recycle products.

A movement that works to help people in developing countries get a fair deal (price) for the products that they produce and sell.
