EVALUATION: SEE SECTION BELOW THIS PARAGRAPH
If you still need to get your picture of your white card clock model, you can get the pictures of your white models uploaded on photobucket.com in the lordbills folder which you will find if you click here.
The last section (which people may not have yet) is the Evaluation. There is a summary of what it should involve below:
Testing your product is an important part of your evaluation. You will need to ensure that your product does not get damaged before the moderator assesses it. You should try to set up some field tests, which as far as possible replicate the real use of a product.
Question people who would be in your target market about their opinion of your product. Analise their answers and present this information using graphs and text. Consider:
· Do you find the product easy to use?
· Does it function in the way intended?
· What do you think about the style of the product?
· Do you like or dislike any features? Explain why.
· Would you purchase this product and if so what would you expect to pay?
· What are the main advantages or disadvantages compared to similar product?
Specification
You should test your product against the original specification. A simple chart might help.
Modifications
Suggest ways in which your product could be improved. The first thing to do is respond to the tests and other people’s comments. Major problems with your design do not mean that you will gain a poor grade. If there are major problems with your design then you need make serious suggestions for improvements and might need detailed drawings or models.
Modifications for Production.
Make suggestions about the processes that might be used if your design was commercially produced.
Ask your self the following questions:
· Would they use the same materials as I used?
· Would the construction methods be the same?
· How would the surface finishes differ?
· Can I make design changes that would reduce production costs?
· Is there scope for automating parts of the manufacturing process?
· Can I reduce the number of different components in my design?
