Stakeholder/Customer Needs
There are a few stakeholders that need to be considered when designing and manufacturing a Nitro RC car. First, raw material users in the company that provide the parts made of plastics, metal and rubber. The design of the parts should not be too complicated that injection molds are adequate for the scale of part. If parts are small, it may be difficult to make an accurate mold of an important small part. With design for manufacturing in mind as well, there should not be too many different parts to be molded making it easier on component producers. Next in mind are those who assemble the cars. The design of the RC car must be easy because there are many parts. The parts cannot be too hard to assemble together because of positioning or the size or placement of necessary fasteners. Again, similar parts are important for assemblers because it may be hard to distinguish very similar parts in assembly that may make a big difference if assembled to wrong way. Finally, the end product is important to the customers who buy the RC car. Since we are considering an off-road RC car, the product has to be durable through a significant lifespan. The car has to be built for off-road rock crawling and tricky terrain. The car also needs to be easy to fix, modify or replace parts if broken.
