The Best Concept selected is Design Idea 1

Justification

Design Idea No Objective Score given justification
1. Safety -9 It is not safety to that extent because of its low quality sensor and its chocking parts.
Ease of use 5 It is ease to use as there is not much of coding required in it.
Portability 6 The weight of this conceptual model is comparatively lesser than the datum.
Use of standard parts 6 All the parts are easily available in the market.
Cost 7 Its cost is not to high as that of datum and common people can afford it.
2. Safety Datum -
Ease of use Datum -
Portability Datum -
Use of standard parts Datum -
Cost Datum -
3. Safety 9 It is safety because it is fixed properly in its assigned places.
Ease of use 10 Ease to use because it almost performs most of its function and reduces manual work.
Portability -3 It is not portable because it is fixed in the shop.
Use of standard parts -6 Its parts are not easily available in the market.
Cost -14 Its cost is high as hydraulic are used in it.
4. Safety -9 It is not that safety because of its low quality parts used in it.
Ease of use 5 Ease to use as much maintenance is not required.
Portability 6 It is portable as it can taken from one place to another.
Use of standard parts -6 Its half of the parts are not easily available in the market.
Cost 7 It is of low cost as compared to datum.
