    \"\" Module Highlights<\/span><\/h2>\nThis module consists of material to review\/read and videos that consist of both interactive and quiz-based activities. All module interactive activities provide the students to test their understanding, and is not graded. Students need to progress through the material in sequential order, as setup in Canvas. Once the module is completed, the quiz and associated assignments become visible, and are to be completed per Canvas due date. This module's material contains learning content about developing customer requirements, market\/competitive analysis (benchmarking), and engineering specifications This allows student teams to work on measuring their project by defining their target market's requirements, perform a market research and analysis (benchmarking), and develop engineering specifications. The module also provides students with an industry perspective (Vermeer Co.).\n\nIn this module student teams will continue to work through the DFSS process by utilizing the templates\/forms found in the DMADVR toolbox to complete their assignments. Teams will be successful by utilizing roles\/responsibilities and allocating the workload to successfully complete the assignment(s) on time in order to submit to Canvas. Student teams frequently forget to complete their summary, which is part of their final report. Success will hinge on completing the module and completing the quiz to be ready for teamwork!\n

      Customer Requirements_ Market Analysis<\/header>\n
      \n

      This assignment will provide students the opportunity to research and record customer requirements, and market competition. The teams need to allocate workload on the tasks, based on roles\/responsibilities. This assignment provides the opportunity for consensus building and\u00a0 team collaboration completing the associated DMADVR toolbox templates.<\/p>\nThis assignment will help you to develop...<\/span>\n

        Tasks<\/h3>\n

        Teams will work on developing customer requirements based on research (guided by \u2013customer needs) to guide design. Teams need to utilize their roles and responsibilities to allocate work on this assignment. The second part of this assignment is for teams to a<\/span>nalyze the market based on target customers and to identify potential competitive products\/ services. The team will gain information from this competitive analysis to consider how and if the customer needs are being met by the competition, and this will be valuable for teams in developing their own design. This will be used as input into the Engineering Specifications and Benchmarking assignment. Determining gaps in the market in meeting customer needs is key in future work in developing an engineering solution\/design. Students will be able to prepare structured summaries of design tool use and results that possess appropriate structure, grammar and tone. Teams will g<\/span>ain experience with consensus building and work allocation. Teams will complete the associated DMADVR toolbox templates associated with the assignment(s).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Keys to success on this project include teamwork. Determining work allocation after a team discussion and review of assignment requirements, and utilizing the DMADVR toolbox\u00a0 templates to complete the work. Inside and outside class discussion and work may be warranted to ensure due date is met. Ensuring all aspects of the assignment are completed.\u00a0 Success will hinge on completing the module and associated quiz to be ready for teamwork!<\/p>\n\n

        Grading Criteria<\/h3>\n

        Grading is based on the \"Expectations of Deliverables\" outlined in the assignment document. This is reflected in the grading rubric available to students on the Canvas once\u00a0 the assignment is opened.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        \n\nThe next step in the design process is to build a technical list of metrics and features that satisfy your customer requirements can be satisfied. In this assignment the team will work to build the list of metrics and features to satisfy the customer requirements. Customer requirements was developed previously in 03, and this serves as the WHAT, and in this assignment, teams need to develop the HOW those requirements will be satisfied.\n\nThis assignment will help you to develop...<\/span>\n
