Abstract/Summary
Within this document, the “Naughty and Nice” team will describe the details associated with the completion of this project, which involves creating an animated advent calendar for the Cambria Christmas Market. The problem, the customers and stakeholders, and the general goals of the project are introduced. The team conducted background research; how this research helps in finding a solution or supporting the needs of the sponsor is illustrated. Initial research includes interviews with the sponsor and potential users, patent and existing product searches, and some technical research pertaining to the subject. The team found that there are not many existing products that are similar to this project, but there are some which will lend the team inspiration and ideas for implementation in the design process. The scope of the problem is assessed from the customer’s needs and wants, along with a defined problem statement and a Quality FunctionDevelopment (QFD) table. The team illustrates the process of selecting a chosen Concept Design. The Final Design direction for the façade and each box theme is described in detail, including functionality, evidence that the design will meet specifications, a discussion of safety, maintenance, and repair considerations, and a detailed cost analysis. A Manufacturing Plan is delineated, describing procurement, manufacturing, and assembly of each box, especially with respect to moving components. The team introduces a Design Verification Plan, which describes how each design specification was satisfied via testing. The overall design process of the project is investigated including the key deliverables and their due dates. Finally, the conclusion summarizes the document.
