  1. MSDII Managerial Review P10011 Rochester Institute of Technology 05/19/2010

  2. Project Status • Flex Sensor Update • Conceptually not fit for elbow • Ergonomic issues • Infeasible implementation • Pursue other uses of Flex

  3. Project Status - Dan • Budget • Risk Assessment Update • Project Plan • Engineering Specs • Customer Satisfaction

  4. Risk Assessment • Risk: Patient cannot move naturally while using system • Would adulterate reported data • Reviewed results with Customer and Advisor • Mitigated during design phase by making people’s movements a design concern • Risk: Testing phase does not occur under realistic circumstances • Enclosures would not survive ‘real’ conditions • Exposed enclosures to expected usage • Mitigated by testing beyond overloading test conditions upon completion to find approximate factor of safety.

  5. Risk Assessment • Major Risk: Interfaces do not stay on patient • Sensor package reports useless data • Solution • Careful attention paid to making the system viable for patients with many body types • Mitigated by delivering multiple attachment styles

  6. Risk Assessment • Risk: Lack of communication between P10010 and P10011 • Incomplete Design • Failure to explore possibilities completely • Mitigated by ensuring regular between groups and/or bi-weekly meetings

  7. Success Evaluation • Areas of success: • Designed functional prototype • Tested several attachment techniques • Documented all results for future team • Areas of lack of success • Flex sensor implementation

  8. Joe Piehler • Punctual • Attended all relevant meetings, on time • Prepared to work on arrival • Thorough and Accurate • Test plan results recording • Majority of paper writing and proofreading • Communicative • Always available by text or e-mail • Professional and Ethical • Dedicated • Never asked more of the team than I was willing to do myself

  9. Joe Piehler • Test Plan • Designed majority of tests • Carried out many tests individually • Designed and updated results of testing • Project Plan • Updated as needed • Wrote majority of final paper

  10. Dan Shields • Punctual • Always attended meetings • Attended associated presentations when possible • Thorough and Accurate • Communicative • Hard to reach by email • Professional and Ethical • Dedicated • Underestimated project complexity • Overestimated my own productivity • I hate the flu • Stubbornness and Vindication Trap

  11. Dan Shields • Acquired materials • Pursued Informed suggestions for attachments • Performed concept testing • Lead attachment • Testing of enclosures

  12. Alex Frechette • Punctual • Always made necessary meetings • Not always present for Fridays, my work was complete for what the testing team needed on Fridays when testing was completed • Thorough and Accurate • Comprehensive manufacturing plan • Manufactured quality hard enclosures • Communicative • Easily assessable through email and phone • Professional and Ethical • Dedicated

  13. Alex Frechette • Hard Enclosure Manufacturing Lead • Learn Manufacturing techniques • Switching Materials • Modifications to design on fly • Delivering 6 enclosures Small Hard Enclosure

  14. Alex Frechette • Wearing units testing • Apply Knowledge to appropriate sections of paper • Loading Documents on Edge

  15. Deliverables Checklist • Manufacturing Plan • Updated Project Plan • Final BOM • Test Results • Updated Edge • Functional Prototypes • Paper • Poster • Foundation for Future Teams

  16. Alex – MSD I Lessons Learned • UniGraphics NX Software • Pushed to order materials at end of MSD I • Paid more attention to Material Selection • Polyethylene was chosen during BOM stage based on price and availability • Learned importance of the design process and documents • Project plan, selection process, • Ask questions during design process • Easier to ask questions early then make changes later • How to work as a team to complete deliverables

  17. Alex – MSD II Lessons Learned • Plan accordingly to meet deadlines for team • Parallel Manufacturing and testing • Value of finding the right tools • Polyethylene poor machining properties • Delrin is a much better choice • Communication with P10010 • Overall, learned how valuable the design process can be

  18. Dan - Lessons Learned • Overextended • 80% confidence • 20% whispering doubt, saying do more testing • Communication • Give honest critique • Speak Up • Reinforce Others • Limits • Organized Planning

  19. Joe – MSD I Lessons Learned • Communication • Recording information • Risk Assessment and Project Plan • More expertise needed earlier • Tradeoffs between academic and practical goals • Effectiveness of Design Process

  20. Joe – MSD II Lessons Learned • Communication! • Sliding scope of project • Facility Contingency • Earlier Flex testing

  21. Rubric Review
