Developing and writing a design brief

provide a detailed description of the design, extract problems from verbal, visual and statistical information, identify the range of users and the market for which the product is intended, develop a design brief for a marketable product,

Drawing up a Specification

examine the intended purpose of the product, consider issues that affect planning, identify and evaluate how existing products fulfill the needs of their intended users, demonstrate an ability to express the results of research, consider the capability required to manufacture in batch quantity,

Generating Design Proposals

generate and record a range of design proposals, identify the resources needed for the solution to be realized, evaluate ideas against the specification and modify where necessary, consider whether ideas meet the original need, understand the relevance of function and aesthetics, use mock-up models to check on the idea feasibility, identify, with reasons for selection/rejection for product development, use graphic techniques and ICT,

Product Development

conduct testing or trialing to make decisions on materials, production processess and selection, match materials and components with tools, equipment and processes, simulate production by developing a system to control the manufacture of a product individually and/or in batch quality, be flexible and adaptable in responding to changing circumstances and new opportunities, use graphic techniques and ICT to generate, develop, model and communicate a design proposal.,

Product Planning

produce and use a detailed plan of work against a realistic time schedule., a proposed work plan which sets realistic deadlines and identifies critical points., Use ICT to produce flow charts., [[prepare materials economically allowing for waste and fine finish and use premanufactured standard components appropriately.]], efficient material preparation.,

Tools and Equipment

proper procedures for the preparation of materials;, use of datum edges., correct use of marking-out, measuring and testing tools;, correct use of tools, equipment and components, safe working practices. personal protection and the safety of others., Use of drawing instruments, Use of drafting aids, Use of colouring media, Use of tools and equipment for model making,

Processes

work by wasting, work by deforming, work by fabricating, work by reforming, assemble and fit parts correctly, apply surface finishes, use appropriate industrial applications when working with familiar materials and processes.,

ICT Applications

understand how CAD/CAM is used in industrial manufacturing, recognise that computer systems can control machines and equipment, understand how CAD/CAM is used in the manufacture of single items and small batches, desk top publish, produce bar charts, pie charts, flowcharts from data, produce graphics, mould and size text, and/or graphics to suit requirements, CAM, CAD,

Industrial Applications

job production;, batch production;, repetitive flow, continual flow process, cell production, in-line assembly, just in time, understand the packaging, marketing, and advertising implications of a product, understand that control is a necessary part of production and marketing.,

Good Working Practice

produce process and block diagrams, produce time plans and work schedules, carry out testing, evaluation and modification of products.,

Product Evaluation

Fully evaluate product and production,

Materials and Pre-manufactured Standard Components

Metals

Know how to shape and join various types of metals in a variety of forms, Know how materials can be combined and processed to create more useful properties, Know how to prepare for manufacture ensuring economical use of material, Have an awareness of the importance of self-finishing and applied finishing, [[Understand that to achieve the best use of materials and components the interrelationship between material, form and manufacturing processes must be considered carefully]], Understand the use of pre-manufactured standard components,

Wood and Wood Based Materials

Know how to shape and join various types of timber in a variety of forms including carcase, stool, frame and slab constructions, Know how materials can be combined and processed to create more useful properties, Know how to prepare for manufacture ensuring economical use of material, Have an awareness of the importance of self-finishing and applied finishing [[Understand that to achieve the best use of materials and components the interrelationship between material, form and manufacturing processes are considered carefully]], Understand the use of pre-manufactured standard components,

Plastics and Composites

Know how to shape and join various types of plastics in a variety of forms Know how materials can be combined and processed to create more useful properties Know how to prepare for manufacture ensuring economical use of material Have an awareness of the importance of self-finishing and applied finishing Understand that to achieve the best use of material and understand the use of pre-manufactured standard components,

‘Smart’ and Modern Materials

[[Know that some ‘Smart’ materials respond in a certain way to changes in temperature, light, or pressure]], Know how materials can be combined and processed to create more useful properties, Be aware of other ‘Smart’ and modern materials as they become commercially available.,

Systems and Control

[[a mechanism that transforms an input motion and force into a desired output motion and force required changes and control movement]], linear motion in mechanical systems, reciprocating motion in mechanical systems, rotary motion in mechanical systems, oscillating motion in mechanical systems, mechanisms that turn motion through a right angle i.e bevel gear, worm and wormwheel;, mechanisms that reverse the direction of motion i.e. marked spur gears,geartrain;, mechanisms that change linear motion into rotary motion i.e. rack and pinion;, mechanisms that change rotary motion into reciprocating motion i.e. cam, crank.,

Products and Applications =

Carry out a product analysis of commercially manufactured products,

Quality

procedures that could be set during production to ensure quality, how far existing products satisfy their needs and fulfill their purpose, the importance of accuracy when assembling products, appropriate use of resources and materials in manufacture and maintenance, how the product meets manufacturability and maintenance requirements, social, moral, economic, environmental and aesthetic implications,

Health and Safety

As designers and consumers, As workers within the production environment, Personal safety, Risk assessment, Environmental effects:,
