4.	How much length of the material should the Machine wind in one roll?	2-5 metres of the Material	Constraint
5.	What should be the maximum weight of the Machine?	It is better if the machine is as light as possible, around 3-5 kgs would be perfect	Constraint
6.	What should be Size of Machine	Dimension (LWH) 1660mm X 2070mm X 1670mm	Constraint
7.	Do you want any other features to be included?	Yes, we want to weigh and display the yarn after completion of winding	Function
8.	How many sets of the material should be winded at one interval?	2-3 sets/interval	Constraint
9.	Do you want any more features in the Machine?	The machine should be clean, hygenic and consume less power	Function
10.	Should the Machine be user friendly?	Yes	Objective
11.	How much Machine can cost?	Try to make it within Rs 4000	Constaint
12.	Do you want to add up any more feature?	It features effectively if the machine can count the number of turns that are wound per set	Function
13.	Does the machine should indicate you ,after the completion of it's work?	yes, if you make it available then it's good	Function
14.	How do you want to end the process??!	Yeah , we want to end the proces manually after getting the indication of completion of winding , we will knot it manually.	Function

1.2 Basic Survey and requirements

                            Table 2: Observation from a literature survey

SI.No	Observation from Surveys	Requirements
1.	Weight of the Machine	It should be as light as possible and portable
2.	Cost	Machine should be built with minimum budget(Rs 4000)
3.	Sets of material to be winded at one interval	2 to 3 sets/interval
4.	Materials to be used	Materials should be light weighted and should be clean and hygenic
6.	Counting No. of turns per roll	Counters
7.	To weigh and display mass	Pocket weighing machines.

1.3 Identifying Client's Objectives

Step 1: Prepare a list of design objectives

            Table 3: Objectives identified

SI.No	Objectives
1.	Machine should be Semi-automatic
2.	Machine should be light weighted and portable
3.	Machine should be User-friendly
4.	Machine should be clean and hygenic
5.	Machine should consume less power

Problem definition version 1.1 :-

Design a semi-automatic yarn winding machine, which is able to do accurate/precised winding process. The Machine should consume less or null power, should be clean, hygenic, portable and user-friendly

1.4 Identify constraints

Step 1: Prepare a list of design constraints

           Table 4: Identified Constraints      

SI.No	Constraints
1.	Machine should be light weighted(around 3-5 Kgs)
2.	Dimensions of Machine(LWH) : 1660mm X 2070mm X 1670mm
3.	Machine should wind 3-5 metres of length of the material
4.	No. of sets to be winded in one interval
5.	Cost of the machine(budget) should be within Rs-4000

Problem definition version 1.2 :-

Design a semi-automatic yarn winding machine, which is able to do accurate/precised winding process. The Machine should consume less or null power, should be clean, hygenic, portable and user-friendly. Machine must not exceed its weight over 5 kgs, dimensions : 1660mm X 2070mm X 1670mm and should be able to wind 2-3 sets of material at one interval and wind 3-5 metres of its length, budget to build should not exceed Rs. 4000

1.5 Establish Functions

Step 1: Prepare a list of design Functions

          Table 5: Identified Functions

SI.No	Functions
1.	Wind the material
2.	Winding is done clean and tightly to ensure nicety
3.	Count No. of turns wound per set
4.	Indicate that the process of completion to the user
5.	Weigh the spool after winding.

Problem definition version 1.3 :-

Design a semi-automatic yarn winding machine, which is able to do accurate/precised winding process. The Machine should consume less or null power, should be clean, hygenic, portable and user-friendly. Machine must not exceed its weight over 5 kgs, dimensions : 1660mm X 2070mm X 1670mm and should be able to wind 2-3 sets of material at one interval and wind 3-5 metres of its length, budget to build should not exceed Rs. 4000 . Machine should indicate the user after winding process is completed and should count number of turns that are wound per set and display it's weight after weighing. The finishing will be done manually.
