Question Paper

What do you understand by product development? Discuss its need. Explain the factors that should be taken into account while developing a new product.

Give examples of design of evolution and explain the evolution of safety razor in detail.

In morphology of design, why is "Analysis of Need" termed as divergent phase Explain "Need Statement" "Specifications" and "Performance Parameters" as applied to analysis of need.
For anyone of the following give a generalized need statement, specifications and standards of performance:

Match-box

Mobile hand-set

Mosquito coils

What is Ideation Why is it so difficult to get ideas once the "Analysis of Need" has been carried out?

Using Transformation technique or Morphological technique carry out the product development exercise for anyone of the following:

Umbrella

Alarm watch

What do you understand by "utility value" of a product? Explain decision-making in product development using the concept of utility index.

What is bath-tub curve Explain failure rate, MTTF, MTBF and reliability of a system.

Write a note on compatibility of displays and controls used in any system.

5. A series system comprises of 5 independent subsystems. The estimated failure rates of these are 0·0002, 0·0003, 0·0004, 0·0005 and 0·0006 failures per hour. The specified failure rate of the series system is 0·0004 failures per hour. Calculate the value of failure rate to be allocated to each subsystem.

6. Explain life cycle assessment and describe its role in environment impact analysis.

7. Discuss any four of the following in brief:

Innovation versus Invention

Margin of safety

Role of ergonomics in product design and development

Brain storming

Decision matrix
