Hand Pump Report

Hand Pump Report
solution of hand-pump to supply clean drinking water to people in developing countries.
The report will be divided in sections.
All the following sections must be present in the report:
1. Design Problem Analysis. (GROUP WORK). This section will include a discussion of the problem, sub-problems, related prioritisation,

stakeholders, KPI andtargets1.
2. Mapping of Available Design Solutions. (GROUP WORK). This section will consist of a discussion of the solutions previously proposed in

literature, with a critical analysis of pros and cons of each design solution1. This section must end with the justified selection of one or few

available solutions, which you will use as a starting point for the detailed design of your proposed solution discussed in the next

sections.Theselectionoffew(ratherthanjustone)literaturesolutionsasastarting
point is encouraged, as you will be able to then synthesise a more innovative proposal, which would include advantages of different solutions previously

proposed in addition to new modifications proposed by yourgroup.
3. Outline of Proposed Design Solution. (GROUP WORK). The outline of your own distinct group solution, whose detailed design is discussed in the

next sections. This section must include a clear statement of the elements which are obtained as a novel combination of previously available solutions

and/or as modifications originally developed by your group (with respect to literature solutions). These novelty elements must also be justified in

terms of benefits to stakeholders in the relevant areas identified in Section1.
4. Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). (GROUP or INDIVIDUAL). This section must include a FMECA analysis of your proposed

design solution, executed according to chosen standard or industrialguidelines.
5. Reliability analysis and Maintenance Planning. (GROUP or INDIVIDUAL). This section must include at least a clear definition of failure (based on

minimum performance requirements), a reliability diagram of the system (series/parallel, etc.) based on the previous definition of failure and

suggestions on the mostsuitable maintenance policy and maintenance resources (e.g. who does maintenance, which items will require it, etc.). In addition

to these qualitative parts, high quality reports should also include a quantitative analysis of failures (i.e. failure distributions and expected number

of failures) for the critical components and for the whole system (the reliability profiles should be justified by literature studies on similar

components). This will also allow you to provide more rigorously justified and quantitative indications on the most appropriate maintenanceregime.
6. Manufacturability and Ease of Assembly. (GROUP or INDIVIDUAL). This section must include a comparative analysis of each candidate design (at

least 1 existing, and your proposed design) based on the Design for Manufacture (DFM) / Design for Assembly (DFA) analytical frameworks presented in

lectures. This analysis should be used to demonstrate the advantages of your proposed design, and identify and implement further design

improvements to enhance the
1 These two section are expected to be an extension of the work you have presented in the project presentation and should also incorporate your response

to the feedback received.

manufacturability, and reduce manufacturing and assembly costs. These improvements should be clearly communicated, including the use of high quality

designsketches.
7. Life-Cycle Analysis. (GROUP or INDIVIDUAL). This section should carry out a complete life-cycle analysis of your design including detailed

life-cycle analysis flowchart and impact factor matrix for your proposed design. This analysis should be used to identify and implement design

improvements and optimisation in terms of the of the designsustainability.
8. Design Analysis and Adherence to Standards and Legislative Requirements including Human Factors. (GROUP or INDIVIDUAL). This section should

include a detailed assessment of all standards and legislative requirements that must be met by the proposed design, including those relating to human

factors and ergonomics. Each requirement and how they have been met (or are to be met) by the design can be summarised in a detailed table. Design

changes based on this analysis should be clearly indicated. Implementation of design standards relating to analysis of mechanical components should be

concisely summarised in individual subsections with full calculations provided in the appendix. Any other engineering design analysis that the group

choose to carry out on their proposed design should be communicated in thissection.
9. Final Design Solution Evaluation and Optimisation. (GROUP). This section must summarise the finalised design solution and its overall solution

performance, in comparison with the most promising available solutions identified in section 2. This should include final technical drawings and

discussion of any further design improvements that could bemade.
10. Bibliography. All the work of others which is discussed in your report must be properly referenced. You can choose the referencing style (e.g.

APA) as long as you are consistent and rigorous. (GROUPWORK)
