1.Designers:Akash , MaheshKumar , Payal , Abhishek.

2.Clients: Doddesh M Sir.

3.Users: Doddesh M Sir.

Questions such as	This question helps the designer to
1. How many average customers the device can serve every day?
2. How many maximum time a device should work in a day?
3. How much the device can cost?	Establish client’s objectives
4. Do you have any electrical supply in your shop ?
5. What are the other features expected?
6. How much amount you can spend on the device?
7. What type of size and width device should be made?	Identify constraints
8. Do you need the device should made up of fibre or steel?
9. How much weight the device can be able to handle?
10. Do you need any device in your device to identify date bar medicines?	Establish functions
11. Do you want device to display cost and generate bill?

Obtain the information through basic survey and customer interaction and arrive at requirements.

Observation and from Lit.Survey	Requirements
1.Based on the cost of devices in market.	Cost of device should be below 4500 only.
2.Based on working time of other devices.	User can operate by sitting in one place.
3.Based on size and shape of other devices.	The device should be user friendly.
4.Based on weight of the device.	The device should be portable.

1.1 Identify client's objectives
Step 1:Prepare a list of design objectives

SL.NO	Objectives
1.	Device must be safe.
2.	The device must be user friendly and eco friendly.
3.	The device must be affordable.
4.	The device should be portable.
5.	The device size should not exceed more than 30*40 sq.cm.

1.2 Prioritize the identified design objectives.
Priority among various objectives is set through a technique called Pair-wise Comparison Chart (PCC)

Objective	Easy to operate	Safety	Affordable	Portable	Score
Easy to operate	****	0	0	1	1
Safety	1	****	1	1	3
Affordable	1	0	****	0	1
Portable	0	0	0	****	0

Rank the objectives in order of decreasing value of importance and the list is :
1.Safety.
2.Affordable.
3.Easy to operate.
4.Portable.

Based on the information gathered through interaction with client, initial survey and completing phase 1.1 the problem definition is formulated as follows:
