Executive Summary
During our product analysis of a Dirt Devil Swift Stick we came across several notable observations. As we went through the uses of the product and used them for its main function a few basic problems occured. These problems ranged from small annoyances to major hazzards. This caused us to further look into customer needs and how they can be addressed for this product. Once the product uses and customer needs were completely documented the product was dissected and all of the parts were analysed and documented in detail. This gave us a more complete understanding of how this product was manufactured and assembled. The dissection gave us a basis for further analysis. This further analysis included DFMA, FMEA, DFE, and Quantitative Mechanical Analysis. From these analyses, decisions could be made to improve upon any areas of manufacturing that could be lacking or cause ill effects on the environment.
