Practice exam – Ergonomics Design task:
Study the BBQ fork below.
Redesign the handle and clearly label its ergonomic features.
Ergonomics :
The bin is too BIG
The bin is the right size to be used safely and
comfortably.
The bin is too SMALL
So what exactly is ergonomics its a big word that means 'fit', the fit between people and the things they use. It is sometimes called human factors. In our case the 'fit' between society and the way we want people to dispose of waste.
If people are comfortable using, handling, sorting and being interested in how the 'chuck' their garbage, they will tend to do it more efficiently because it is easy.
The idea of ergonomics is to design things to fit people. This means taking account of differences such as size, strength and ability to design for a wide range of users. Then the tasks, the places bins are designed for - inside, outside, playgrounds, hospitals, colleges, schools and the local tip.
Children are smaller, they need to be considered carefully when designing bins, for example, so that they are able to reach to put things in them, lift the lid if they have one, read the signs (pictures) even though they might not be able to read words, and above all be safe when using them
Even the simplest of products can be a nightmare to use if poorly designed. Our ancestors didn't have this problem. They could simply make things to suit themselves. These days, the designers of products are often far removed from the end users, which makes it vital to adopt an ergonomic, user-centred
approach to design, including studying peoples rubbish throwing habits, talking to them and asking them to test things.
The bin is too BIG
The bin is the right size to be used safely and
comfortably.
The bin is too SMALL
Ergonomics :
This trolley is the incorrect size
What are the problems with having a trolley that is TOO SMALL?
This trolley is the correct size
Productions Methods:
Productions Methods/ Scales of Production:
One off production method
Batch production method
Mass production method
Batch is another word for group. A group of products are made
Lots…a MASSive amount
One product is made
Productions Methods/ Scales of Production:One off production method:
One off production is the production of ONE product. My toy box will be a one off product as I am only making ONE.
One off production is very slow and often makes little profit. The items made are expensive to buy because of this.
Batch production method:
Batch production is the production or manufacture of a GROUP or BATCH of IDENTICAL products. I will be using CAD and CAM to design and make a logo for my toy box I will be able to batch produce it. Here is a list of processes / tools that help
in the production of identical products:Templates
JigsFormersStencils
CAD/CAMMoulds
Mass production method:
Mass production is the production of a huge volume of products.
Mass production is only possible when CAD and CAM is used. This is because computer aided manufacture machines are able to work 24/7 365 days a year. The machines are able to work at a fast rate and produce many items in a short period of time.
The disadvantage of relying on CAD and CAMIs that many people in the manufacturing industry has lost their jobs. Also when the machine break down the production stops.
Examples of products that are mass produced:Cars, drinks bottles, computer parts.
CansJig
Productions Methods:Batch Production:
When making more than one product (a batch) you need to use certain equipment / methods to help you make the products IDENTICAL
