Executive Summary
Describe key findings and recommendations
Stakeholder Analysis
In performing a product use study the following stakeholders and their needs were identified and documented. Even though the list contains many eccentric interests, there are many shared values.
Stakeholder | Needs |
---|---|
Manufacturers | Low cost, Able to mass produced, Easy to assemble, Environmentally friendly, Easy to store and package |
Investors | Low cost, Significant innovation, Aesthetics, Large market |
Retailers | Easy to store, Accessory options, Universal interface, Compatibility, Low cost, Utility |
Cleaning Supply Companies | Universal interface, compatibility |
Commercial Consumers | Low cost, Durability, Light Weight, Quiet, Intuitive operation, Ergonomic design, Easy to stow, Easy to clean |
Independent Consumers | Low cost, Aesthetically pleasing, easy to clean, Storability, Portability, Intuitive operation, Light weight, Durability |
Usage
Product Use Steps
Bucket and Mop Combination
1) Make a mess
2) Fill bucket with water
3) Add recommended amount of cleaning solution
4) Put mop in bucket
5) Move mop to wringer
6) Wring mop out
7) Mop floor (i.e. move back and forth across desired dirty surface)
8) Repeat steps 4-7 until desired cleanliness is achieved
9) Empty bucket
10) Repeat steps 2-3 as desired
Folding Mop
1) Make a mess
2) Obtain a bucket or container
3) Fill bucket with water
4) Add recommended amount cleaning solution
5) Put mop in bucket
6) Slide wringer towards end of mop over bucket
7) Mop floor (i.e. move back and forth across desired dirty surface)
8) Repeat steps 5-7 until desired cleanliness is desired
9) Empty bucket
10) Repeat steps 3-4 as desired

Design for Manufacturing Analysis
Section Lead:
Are there opportunities to improve manufacturability and make a competing product cheaper? Identify where material and process choices are appropriate or inappropriate for expected production volume.
Failure Mode and Effect Analysis
Section Lead:
Are there important failure modes that should be considered in a redesign or a new design? Please focus on use phase, rather than manufacturing.
Design for the Environment
Section Lead:
What is the major source(s) of CO2 in the product's life cycle? If Congress were to pass a tax on CO2, would this have a significant impact on the cost of production or use of the product?
