Unit 1 Engineering Design - Higher National Certificate/Diploma in Mechanical engineering

Assignment - Plan a design solution and prepare an engineering design specification in response to a stakeholder's design brief and requirements

Assignment Brief

Scenario
You are a design engineer working for a company that designs and manufactures measuring instruments for a wide range of engineering applications. A client has approached your company to design and produce 5 types of measuring equipment for used in his manufacturing hub which manufactures Nuts and bolts as well as clamping system. These instruments measure quantities such as Pressure, temperature,Stress,Diameter, length.

Task 1
Produce a design specification from a given design brief.

Scenario-
With the above information from the client, produce a Product Design Specification (PDS), using a suitable template, which fulfils all the client's specifications. Provide a plan of how you are going to design the product taking into account the importance of each activity, their sequence and timing in the plan. You need to show your plan in an easy to interpret format.

Task 2
Explain the influence of the stakeholder's design brief and requirements in the preparation of the design specification.

Scenario-
As you have received order from client to manufacture measuring instruments but due to stakeholder's involvement brings different design brief and requirements .so make a report that what will happen after influence of stakeholder while making design brief and design specification.

Task 3
Produce a design project schedule with a graphical illustration of the planned activities.
Scenario-
As you are preparing plan to make measuring instrument ass per requirement of client. So Prepare a design project schedule with use of Critical path analysis method.
Research and explain the use and benefits of Critical Path Analysis (CPA) in managing a project.

Task 4
Evaluate potential planning techniques, presenting a case for the method chosen.
Scenario-
Identify and evaluate the possible planning techniques available and justify why you have chosen the planning technique that you are using.

Task 5
Demonstrate critical path analysis techniques in design project scheduling/planning and explain its use.
Scenario-
Research and explain the use and benefits of Critical Path Analysis (CPA) in managing a project.

Task 6
Compare and contrast the completed design specification against the relevant industry standard specification.
Scenario-
You also need to make use of appropriate industry standards as reference, comparing and contrasting them with your PDS.
