Designing to Codes and Standards
Abstract:The fundamental need for codes and standards in design is based on two concepts, interchangeability
and compatibility. When manufactured articles were made by artisans working individually, each item
was unique and the craftsman made the parts to fit each other. When a replacement part was
required, it had to be made specially to fit.
However, as the economy grew and large numbers of an item were required, the handcrafted method
was grossly inefficient. Economies of scale dictated that parts should be as nearly identical as possible,
and that a usable replacement part would be available in case it was needed. The key consideration
was that the replacement part had to be interchangeable with the original one.
Regardless of the material to be used, most design projects are exercises in creative problem solving. If
the project is a very advanced one, pushing the boundaries of available technical knowledge, there arefew guidelines available for the designer. In such instances, basic science, intuition, and discussions with
peers are common approaches that combine to produce an approach to solving the problem. With the
application of skill, daring, a little bit of luck, money, and patience, a workable solution usually emerges.
However, most design projects just are not that challenging or different from what has been done in
the past. Historically, such information was carefully guarded and was often kept secret. With the
passage of time, however, these privately developed methods of solving design problems became
common knowledge, ever more firmly established. Eventually they evolved into published standards of
practice. Some government entities, acting under their general duty to preserve general welfare and to
protect life and property from harm, added the standards to their legal bases.
The need for codes and standards
The fundamental need for codes and standards in design is based on two concepts, interchangeability
and compatibility. When manufactured articles were made by artisans working individually, each item
was unique and the craftsman made the parts to fit each other. When a replacement part was required,
it had to be made specially to fit.
However, as the economy grew and large numbers of an item were required, the handcrafted method
was grossly inefficient. Economies of scale dictated that parts should be as nearly identical as possible,
and that a usable replacement part would be available in case it was needed. The key consideration was
that the replacement part had to be interchangeable with the original one.
Standardization of parts within a particular manufacturing company to ensure interchangeability is only
one part of the industrial production problem. The other part is compatibility. What happens when
parts from one company, working to their standards, have to be combined with parts from another
company, working to their standards? Will parts from company A fit with parts from company B? Yes,
but only if the parts are compatible. In other words, the standards of the two companies must be the
same.
Purposes and objectives of codes and standards
The protection of general welfare is one of the common reasons for the establishment of a government
agency. The purpose of codes is to assist that government agency in meeting its obligation to protect
the general welfare of the population it serves. The objectives of codes are to prevent damage to
7/31/2019 CED Assign i
4/17
property and injury to or loss of life by persons. These objectives are accomplished by applying
accumulated knowledge to the avoidance, reduction, or elimination of definable hazards.
Before going any further, the reader needs to understand the differences between "codes" and
"standards". Which items are codes and which are standards? One of the several dictionary definitions
for "code" is "any set of standards set forth and enforced by a local government for the protection of
public safety, health, etc., as in the structural safety of buildings (building code), health requirementsfor plumbing, ventilation, etc. (sanitary or health code), and the specifications for fire escapes or exits
(fire code)". "Standard" is defined as "something considered by an authority or by general consent as a
basis of comparison; an approved model".
As a practical matter, codes tell the user what to do and when and under what circumstances to do it.
Codes are often legal requirements that are adopted by local jurisdictions that then enforce their
provisions. Standards tell the user how to do it and are usually regarded only as recommendations that
do not have the force of law.
As noted in the definition for code, standards are frequently collected as reference information when
codes are being prepared. It is common for sections of a local code to refer to nationally recognized
standards. In many instances, entire sections of the standards are adopted into the code by reference,
and then become legally enforceable.
How standards develop
Whenever a new field of economic activity emerges, inventors and entrepreneurs scramble to get into
the market, using a wide variety of approaches. After a while the chaos decreases, and a consensus
begins to form as to what constitutes "good practice" for that economic activity.
As an industry matures, more and more companies get involved as suppliers, subcontractors,
assemblers, and so forth. Establishing national trade practices is the next step in the standards
development process. This is usually done through special institutions like the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI), which provides the necessary forum. A sponsoring trade association will
request that ANSI review its standard. A review group is then formed that includes members of many
groups other than the industry, itself. This expands the area of consensus and is an essential feature of
the ANSI process.
ANSI circulates copies of the proposed standard to all interested parties, seeking comments. A time
frame is set up for receipt of comments, after which a Board of Standards Review considers the
comments and makes what it considers necessary changes. After more reviews, the standard is finally
issued and published by ANSI, listed in their catalog, and available to anyone who wishes to purchase a
copy.
A similar process is used by the International Standards Organization (ISO), which began to prepare an
extensive set of worldwide standards in 1996.
One of the key features of the ANSI system is the unrestricted availability of its standards. Company,
trade, or other proprietary standards may not be available to anyone outside that company or trade,
but ANSI standards are available to everyone. With the wide consensus format and easy accessibility,there is no reason for designers to avoid the step of searching for and collecting any and all standards
applicable to their particular projects.
Types of codes
There are two broad types of codes: performance codes and specification or prescriptive codes.
Performance codes state their regulations in the form of what the specific requirement is supposed to
achieve, not what method is to be used to achieve it. The emphasis is on the result, not on how the
7/31/2019 CED Assign i
5/17
result is obtained. Specification or prescriptive codes state their requirements in terms of specific
details and leave no discretion to the designer. There are many of each type in use.
Trade codes relate to several public welfare concerns. For example, the plumbing, ventilation, and
sanitation codes relate to health. The electrical codes relate to property damage and personal injury.
Building codes treat structural requirements that ensure adequate resistance to applied loads.
Mechanical codes are involved with both proper component strength and avoidance of personal injuryhazards. All of these codes, and several others, provide detailed guidance to designers of buildings and
equipment that will be constructed, installed, operated, or maintained by persons skilled in those
particular trades.
Safety codes, on the other hand, treat only the safety aspects of a particular entity. The safety codes
sets forth detailed requirements for safety as it relates to buildings.
Professional society codes have been developed, and several have wide acceptance. The American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) publishes the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, which have
been used as a design standard for many decades. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) publishes a series of books that codify recommended good practices in various areas of their
discipline. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) publishes hundreds of standards relating to the
design and safety requirements for vehicles and their appurtenances. The American Society for Testingand Materials (ASTM) publishes thousands of standards relating to materials and the methods of
testing to ensure compliance with the requirements of the standards.
Statutory codes are those prepared and adopted by some governmental agency, local, stale, or federal.
They have the force of law and contain enforcement provisions, complete with license requirements
and penalties for violations. There are literally thousands of these, each applicable within its
geographical area of jurisdiction.
Regulations. Laws passed by legislatures are written in general and often vague language. To implement
the collective wisdom of the lawmakers, the agency staff then comes in to write the regulations that
spell out the details.
Types of standardsProprietary (in-house) standards are prepared by individual companies for their own use. They usually
establish tolerances for various physical factors such as dimensions, fits, forms, and finishes for in-
house production. When outsourcing is used, the purchasing department will usually use the in-house
standards in the terms and conditions of the order.
Quality assurance provisions are often in-house standards, but currently many are being based on the
requirements of ISO 9000. Operating procedures for material review boards are commonly based on in-
house standards. It is assumed that designers, as a function of their jobs, are intimately familiar with
their own employers standards.
Government specification standards for federal, state, and local entities involve literally thousands of
documents. Because government purchases involve such a huge portion of the national economy, it is
important that designers become familiar with standards applicable to this enormous market segment.To make certain that the purchasing agency gets precisely the product it wants, the specifications are
drawn up in elaborate detail. Failure to comply with the specifications is cause for rejection of the
sellers offer, and there are often stringent inspection, certification, and documentation requirements
included.
It is important for designers to note that government specifications, particularly Federal specifications,
contain a section that sets forth other documents that are incorporated by reference into the body of
the primary document. These other documents are usually federal specifications, federal and military
7/31/2019 CED Assign i
6/17
standards, and applicable industrial or commercial standards. The MIL standards and Handbooks for a
particular product line should be a basic pan of the library of any designers working in the government
supply area.
Product definition standards are published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology under
procedures of the Department of Commerce. It establishes the grading rules, names of specific varieties
of soft wood, and sets the uniform lumber sizes for this very commonly used material.
Commercial standards (denoted by the letters CS) are published by the Commerce Department for
articles considered to be commodities. Commingling of such items is commonplace, and products of
several suppliers may be mixed together by vendors. The result can be substantial variations in quality.
To provide a uniform basis for fair competition, the Commercial Standards set forth test methods,
ratings, certifications, and labeling requirements. Testing and certification standards are developed for
use by designers, quality assurance agencies, industries, and testing laboratories.
International standards have been proliferating rapidly for the past two decades. This has been in
response to the demands of an increasingly global economy for uniformity, compatibility, and inter-
changeability demands for which standards are ideally suited.
Beginning in 1987, the International Standards Organization (ISO) attacked one of the most seriousinternational standardization problems, that of quality assurance and control. These efforts resulted in
the publication of the ISO 9000 Standard for Quality Management. This has been followed by ISO 14000
for Environmental Management Standards, which is directed at international environmental problems.
The ISO has several Technical Committees (TC) that publish handbooks and standards in their particular
fields. Examples are the ISO Standards Handbooks on Mechanical Vibration and Shock, Statistical
Methods for Quality Control, and Acoustics. All of these provide valuable information for designers of
products intended for the international market.
Codes and standards preparation organizations
U.S. Government Documents. For Federal government procurement items, other than for the
Department of Defense, the Office of Federal Supply Services of the General Services Administration
issues the Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions every April.
The American National Standards Institute also publishes a catalog of all their publications and
distributes catalogs of standards published by 38 other ISO member organizations. They also distribute
ASTM and ISO standards and English language editions of Japanese Standards, Handbooks, and
Materials Data Books. ANSI does not handle publications of the British Standards Institute or the
standards organizations in Germany and France.
As mentioned previously, there are many organizations that act as sponsors for the standards that ANSI
prepares under their consensus format. The sponsors are good sources for information on forthcoming
changes in standards and should be consulted by designers wishing to avoid last-minute surprises.
Listings in the ANSI catalog will have the acronym for the sponsor given after the ANSI symbol. The field
of interest of each sponsor is usually obvious from the name of the organization.
Designers responsibility
As soon as a designer has been able to establish a solid definition of the problem at hand, and to
formulate a promising solution to it, the next logical step is to begin the collection of available
reference materials such as codes and standards. This is a key part of the background phase of the
design effort. Awareness of the existence and applicability of codes and standards is a major
responsibility of the designer.
One of the designers responsibilities in the background phase is to make certain that the collection of
7/31/2019 CED Assign i
7/17
reference codes and standards is both complete and comprehensive. Considering the enormous
amount of information available, and the ease of access to it, this can be a formidable task. However, a
designers failure to acquire a complete and comprehensive collection of applicable standards is ill
advised in todays litigious environment. In addition, failure of the designer to meet the requirements
set forth in the standards can be considered professional malpractice.
Quality Function Deployment
Quality deployment is defined as a methodology that converts user demands into substitute quality
characteristics, determines the design quality of the finished goods and systematically deploys this
quality into component quality, individual past quality and process elements and their relationships.
QFD Methodology
It was first developed by Akao, and its first application was in Japan. He developed the approaches
called Matrix of Matrices. Since then a second method has been developed and primarily used in
American applications. It is generally referred to as the four-phased approach and was developed
originally by the American Supplier Institute. These two approaches util ize a similar matrix, but go aboutapplication of the analyses in different ways. The two methods are also heavily focused on products and
processes.
Four-phased Approach
The four-phased approach to QFD is accomplished by using a series of matrices that guide the product
teams activities by providing standard documentation during product and process development.
Although the four elements of the approach vary depending upon the application.
The basic four phases of the approach that structure QFD Matrixes are four major activities.
Programme Planning
Product Design
Process Planning
Process Control Planning
The ability to trace design features and process needs back to customer requirements Is formed by
taking the design characteristics from the top of the initial matrix and using them as the left-hand side of
7/31/2019 CED Assign i
8/17
the next matrix.This process continues until specific product and process specifications and
manufacturing guidelines result.
The Core of QFD Matrix
The core of QFD matrix is based on a matrix that is some times referred as the House of Quality. The
house of quality is used to initiate a comparison of customers needs with the technical requirements of
the products.
Identify Customer Needs
The core QFD matrix begins by using the customers physical and functional needs (attributes).
Customers can be primary or secondary customers. Customers can be either internal or external to the
organization and their needs may be conflicting. Some times it is necessary to focus who is the actual
end user of the product or services in order to determine who the final customer is.
There are several categories of customer needs. The first category consists of explicit customer
expectations.The second category involves elements a customer expects without telling you. The last
group of customer needs is excitement factors.
Prioritize Needs and Conduct Competitive Benchmarking
The matrix is used to prioritize customer needs and develop competitive benchmarks. The first step inprioritization is to assume that not all customer needs can be equally important. The core QFD matrix
measures the relative importance to the customer of all of the defined needs. Weighed values based on
customers perception are designed from the team members direct experience with the customers or
from the surveys.
Develop Technical Requirements
The next step involves brain storming a list of technical characteristics or requirements that will satisfy
the customer needs. The term Technical requirements is used to group product, service and
operational requirements that will satisfy customers needs at the top level of analysis.
Co-relate Technical Requirements to Customer Needs
The relationship matrix indicates the impact of each technical requirement on the customers needs. A
project team should seek consensus on evaluations basing them on expert engineering or serviceknowledge and experience, customer responses and tabulated data from statistical studies.
Priorities Technical Requirements
The relationship matrix can be transported into design priorities. The relational level of importance,
what is important and define what is least important.
Set Specific Targets
At the bottom of the core QFD matrix, targets are set for each corresponding characteristics to measure
the process, service, or product design. If the characteristic is not measurable, then further definition is
required. If a characteristic can not be measured then there is no way to verify that it has been
implemented into design, or integrated into manufacturing process or included in the service.
Identify Technical Interactions
In a QFD matrix these connections between the system characteristics are captured at the top of the
matrix in what is traditionally referred to as the root. The distinctive roof of the core QFD matrix assists
engineers or members of the multi-functional team in specifying various characteristic features that
need to be improved collaterally. System characteristics exhibiting negative relationships are trade off to
find the best compromise and strong positive relationships are studied to prevent duplication of the
effort.
Concept Evaluation
Product or service concepts can be evaluated against all technical requirements as related to customer
needs. Each independent element of a particular concept can be evaluated for strength and weakness
7/31/2019 CED Assign i
9/17
compared to the performance targets set during QFD analysis. This analysis also permits the design
team or the development team to determine if there are any gaps in the concepts technical solutions
that would prevent meeting performance goals. As a result, the concept in that can c then be compared
to another concept to determine overall ability to meet the customers priority needs as determined
earlier in the analysis.

machining of standard and exotic materials with cutting tools ranging from coated carbide and ceramics
to CBN and PCD tooling system.
2. Quality Function DeploymentQuality deployment is defined as a methodology that converts user demands into substitute quality
characteristics, determines the design quality of the finished goods and systematically deploys this
quality into component quality, individual past quality and process elements and their relationships.
3. Problem Description
HMT Kalamassery unit is manufacturing SB CNC Slant bed Turning Centre in the last 25 years. In the lastseveral years the sales of the machine is dropped. Presently it is selling only 10 to 15 machines annually.
The Machine is used in the Heavy Machinery manufacturing units like Earth Moving machine
manufacturing units, construction machinery manufacturing units, military vehicle manufacturing
machines etc. Very few companies are manufacturing such machines in India. The main competitors are
(1) MIVEN Hubli, (2) PROTECH Chennai.
The purpose of this study is to:
Identify the functional problems of the machine and rectify. Improve the capacity of the machine if needed. Improve the aesthetics of the machine Make the machine more user friendly and
Ultimately improve the customer satisfaction and improved sales.Develop Prioritized Customer Requirements of the Internal and External Customer is taken
Develop Prioritized Technical Descriptors were Calculated
Self-Completion Questionnaire
They are low cost since there is no interviewer involved. They are least instructive form of data
collection and respondents co-operate with self compilation questionnaire. Distance is immaterial and
there is wide choice of methods for distributing questionnaire. In addition to post, fax machine can be
used. Personal delivery and collection improves response rate and saleable. Envelopes can be provided
7/31/2019 CED Assign i

to suggest confidentiality. Self compilation questionnaires are particularly useful method of capsuling
customers vens at the point of consumption.
Despite these many attractions, self compilation questionnaires do have serious disadvantages. The
questionnaires have to be reasonably short and questions simple. Any perceived difficulty in completing
the exercise will have a considerable adverse effect on response rate. They are very slow and leave them
in pending trays. The most serious drawback of self compilation questionnaire is the accuracy of the
data generated. There are two problems here. Firstly respondents tend to reply very hurriedly and with
little thought. As a result, questionnaire misinterpreted or omitted. Secondly very low response rate.
Before Designing Questionnaire
The characteristic functional problems, need of automation, user friendliness, aesthetics andadditional features prepared for the HMT SB CNC 40/60 Turning Centre are identified after
consultation with the HMT Design Dept, Service Dept, Sales Dept and Quality Control Dept.

Summary of Work Done
Design of customers feedback questionnaire. After collecting the feedbacks of Internal and External customers, the feedbacks are prioritized. Technical descriptors were identified; analysed and best alternative for the problem is selected. QFD matrix is constructed. The output is (a) Prioritized technical descriptors of the External Customer, (b) Prioritized
technical
descriptors of the Internal Customers.4. Conclusion

The prioritized technical characteristics of both Internal and External Customer are more or less same.
5. Scope for Future Work
Fuzzy QFD can be formed. QFD can be modified using AHP. Interrelationship between customer and technical language can be studied using interpretive
structural model.6. Reference
