Why emphasize concept generation early in the process
ldquoThorough exploration of alternatives early in the development process greatly reduces the likelihood that the team will stumble upon a superior concept late in the development process or that a competitor will introduce a product with dramatically better performance than the product under developmentrdquo pg 99
Concept generation answers the question of ldquohowrdquo the team will satisfy the customer needs as expressed in the functional specifications

Why emphasize concept generation early in the process
ldquoThorough exploration of alternatives early in the development process greatly reduces the likelihood that the team will stumble upon a superior concept late in the development process or that a competitor will introduce a product with dramatically better performance than the product under developmentrdquo pg 99

Why emphasize concept generation early in the process
ldquoThorough exploration of alternatives early in the development process greatly reduces the likelihood that the team will stumble upon a superior concept late in the development process or that a competitor will introduce a product with dramatically better performance than the product under developmentrdquo pg 99
Concept generation answers the question of ldquohowrdquo the team will satisfy the customer needs as expressed in the functional specifications

some external inputs for concept generations Show five concept alternatives for your actual project We will
discuss these in class next Thursday Use a concept combination table pugh matrix or concept
classification tree as a method for concept selection Review of lab note book

Why emphasize concept generation early in the process
ldquoThorough exploration of alternatives early in the development process greatly reduces the likelihood that the team will stumble upon a superior concept late in the development process or that a competitor will introduce a product with dramatically better performance than the product under developmentrdquo pg 99
Concept generation answers the question of ldquohowrdquo the team will satisfy the customer needs as expressed in the functional specifications

bull Reduce the likelihood of costly problems later in the development process
bull Early concept generation is a very affordable way of looking at a lot of alternatives

bull Use your personal and team knowledge and creativity to generate solution concepts
bull Some guidelines for generating concepts Suspend judgment Donrsquot be quick to jump to conclusions Generate a lot of ideas Donrsquot spend time evaluating ideas just capture
them Welcome ldquoout of the boxrdquo ideas Donrsquot worry about feasibility during the
initial brainstorming Use graphical and visual methods to capture ideas Quick drawings and
sketches are great Infeasible ideas are welcome Use graphical and physical media Make analogies Wish and wonder Use related stimuli Set quantitative goals Trade ideas in a group

bull Final Design and Development Project Show evidence of at least two areas where you have researched
some external inputs for concept generations Show five concept alternatives for your actual project We will
discuss these in class next Thursday Use a concept combination table pugh matrix or concept
classification tree as a method for concept selection Review of lab note book
bullRead Chapter 7 ndash Concept Selection Discuss structured methods for selecting a single concept design
from several available designs

What are we trying to accomplish with the treendash Prune less promising branches quicklyndash Identify independent approaches to the problemndash Find where gaps may exist in the concept fragmentsndash Refine the thought process for a particular branch

This is a tool to link fragments into complete solutions The first step is to identify the general functional diagram for the
anticipated solutionndash For example in a simplified Innovative Directions solution

bullStep 1- add fragments to the table
bullStep 2 is to put all concept fragments into a column of the combination table This helps to identify if concept fragments are missing or redundant
bullStep 3 is to link concept fragments into complete solutions This also shows where more evaluation or exploration is necessary

eliminated bullHowever you often find a new idea by looking at
the possible combinations of concept fragments bullThis is an iterative process where you may have
