In the Six Sigma method DMADV, at what stage would you "develop and design alternatives, create a high level design and evaluate the design in order to select the best design"?

• Define

• Measure

• Analyze

• Design

Two advantages of Drop Forging

• Can be formed into relatively complex shapes.

• Is less expensive than other forging methods.

• Requires less energy to produce.

• Produces a rough surface finish.

What is the process of shaping material by forcing it through a die?

• Injection

• Extrusion

• Molding

• Casting

Under The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 two duties of the designer are.

• To ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable that the article is so designed and constructed as to be safe and without risk to health when properly used.

• To provide training for all employees on health and safety procedures.

• To ensure that all materials used in construction are the cheapest available.

• To conduct regular fire drills and emergency evacuations.

Design briefs need to be ________ to produce a Product Design Specification

• detailed

• ambiguous

• brief

• incomplete

Formula for thermal linear expansion.

• ΔL = L0 * α * ΔT

• ΔL = L0 / α * ΔT

• ΔL = L0 + α * ΔT

• ΔL = L0 - α * ΔT

A Design Brief sets out the problem and defines what needs to be achieved. A Product Design Specification sets out:-

• how to achieve and solve the problem

• the budget and timeline for the project

• the marketing strategy for the product

• the target audience and user demographics

What is Blow Molding?

• A manufacturing process for creating hollow plastic parts

• A technique for shaping metal objects

• A method for assembling electronic components

• A process for mixing chemicals

Factor of Safety

• 1.5

• 2.0

• 3.0

• 4.0

When analysing a design brief using the 5W's the question to ask beginning with, "Where" is

• Where could it be used?

• Where is the target audience located?

• Where can the materials be sourced?

• Where will the budget be allocated?
