R038 Engineering Design Topic 2.2 - Availability & form

How do standard shapes, forms, and colors simplify ordering and supply for manufacturing?

• By reducing the need for customisation

• By increasing the complexity of the manufacturing process

• By limiting the available design options

• By requiring additional resources for production

What factors does a designer need to consider when designing a new product?

• Color options

• Materials availability

• Price of the product

• Brand reputation

What can happen if material availability is not considered in product design?

• Increased efficiency

• Lost time and money

• Improved quality control

• Faster manufacturing process

Why is material availability crucial in product design?

• To ensure materials are readily available and will remain so during production

• To increase production costs

• To delay the production process

• To reduce the quality of the final product

How can using premanufactured forms save money in processing stages?

• By reducing the need for customisation

• By increasing the complexity of the product

• By slowing down the production process

• By requiring additional quality checks
