Justifications

Design no. Objective score given Justification
User friendly 0
Safety 0
Fold veil neatly 0
1 Cost effective 0 Because it is used as datum
Portable 0
Semi-automated 0
---- ------------ --- ---------
User friendly 0 Because it is easy to place veil
Safety 8 There is no risk of injury to hand
Fold veil neatly -14 when flaps are folded, it may not fold veil propely
2 Cost effective 7 There are no complex devices used
Portable 0 Because it may weigh same as design 1
Semi-automated -5 We may need to fold flaps manually
---- ------------ --- ---------
User friendly 9 Because it will roll automatically due to motors
Safety 8 Because it will not harm our hand
Fold veil neatly 7 It will roll veil neatly by itself in one stretch
3 Cost effective 0 Because it may cost same as design 1
Portable 0 It may weigh same as design 1
Semi-automated 5 Because it rolls veil by itself
---- ------------ --- ---------
User friendly -9 Because it is difficult to place veil correctly
Safety -8 while entering veil it may harm our hand
Fold veil neatly 0 It may be same as design 1
4 Cost effective -7 It may cost more because complex folding frames need to be used
Portable 6 It may weigh less if plastic frames are used
Semi-automated 5 Because once we place veil it will fold automatically
---- ------------ --- ---------
User friendly 0 Because the placing mechanism is same as datum
Safety 0 Here also we have to place the same way
Fold veil neatly 7 Swirling is more neat folding method for veil than datum
5 Cost effective -7 Because cost of devices used may be high
Portable -6 Because of many motors and other devices it may weigh high
Semi automated 5 Because it will do all swirling and placing operation by itself
---- ------------ --- ---------
User friendly 0 Because placing veil takes same effort as in datum
Safety 8 Because we have to just place veil on the platform
Fold veil neatly -14 Because when flaps fold it will not assure that veil will fold properly along with it
6 Cost effective 7 Because no much complex mechanism used in this
Portable 6 Because flaps will not weigh much
Semi-automated 0 Because datum and this design are same in this case

Justification

Sub-function Interaction Explaination
Data the veil is accepted and signals are sent to S2
S1->S2 Material veil is transferred
Energy Energy in the form of motor activation
Spatial the cliffs that are present on the flaps which will receive and fold the veil
---- ---- ----
Data No data is sent directly
S1->S3 Material The veil flows from S1 to S3 through S2
Energy No energy is sent
Spatial they are not connected by any hinges or cliffs

Table 1

Sub-function Interaction Explaination
Data From S1, S2 receives data such as the veil is clipped
S2->S1 material Veil is received
Energy No energy is received
Spatial Connected as clips are placed on flaps
---- ---- ----
Data Dispensing system is activated
S2->S3 material Veil is sent
Energy No energy is sent
Spatial Dispenser and folding flaps are connected by hinges and screws

Table 2

Sub-function Interaction Explaination
Data no data is sent
S3->S1 Material veil is sent from S1 to S3 then S2
Energy No energy is sent
Spatial Dispensing systems etc are interconnected
---- ---- ----
Data S2 initializes the dispensing system
S3->S2 Material From S2 veil flows to S3
Energy There is no transfer of energy
Spatial S3 and S2 are interconnected as S2 is folding and S3 is dispensing system which is immidiate next function
