156A Week 9

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

• • We acquired parts from our sponsor and have analyzed the purpose of each part along with how the whole assembly functions.  

  • No design or fabrication has been started at this point, with our focus being on assessing a part for risk reduction. 

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Met with our sponsors and presented to Delson, our current instructor. 

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

• • Have individual components assigned to each team member.  

  • Try testing our risk reduction component. 

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments

• • The last meeting was held on 3/1/20.

  • Comments:

    1. Safety measures for machine operators are the top priority.

    2. Product quality is the second priority and is extremely critical in terms of patient well being.

    3. Automation of the entire system is desired but not necessary.

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments

• • The last meeting involved Jerry, one of our instructors, and was held on 3/5/20. 

  • The comments were:

    1. Which part will be the focus of the risk reduction?

    2. Find a project space by contacting Ian since we need a place to put the parts we acquired from our sponsor.
