Flashlight from Plastic Bottles: Project Performance Review Report

This document presents a performance review of a project focused on designing and manufacturing a flashlight using reused materials, specifically plastic bottles. The review assesses the project's aims and objectives, confirming their successful attainment, including the design, manufacturing, and testing of the flashlight, as well as a cost exploration. Key issues encountered during the project are highlighted, such as material availability, lack of skills leading to material wastage, and challenges in cost analysis. Future recommendations are provided to improve the product's durability, address maintenance issues, refine cost analysis, and evaluate business viability. The review concludes that the project was valuable in understanding basic engineering concepts, scheduling, administration, and implementation of engineering tasks, while also noting the need for improvements in product robustness and user-friendliness for potential commercial applications. Desklib offers a wealth of similar solved assignments and study materials for students.

Performance Review
Aims and Objectives:
n performance evaluation the fi rst thing is to look at aims of this task and we need to deliberateI
on whether the aims have been attained or not.
AIM: he objective of this task was to design and manufacture the fl ash light by means of theT
reused constituents and the product has been offered and this mean the objective has been met.
he aims were as followsT
Objectives Status
 Design a fl ash light that can be prepared by means of reused
materials.
Done
 Manufacture the fl ashlight by means of the proposed material Done
 est the fi nal product for its appropriate functioningT Done
 Carry out the cost e ploration to guarantee the viability of thex
product and contest in the business market
Done
Main issues to be handled:
2

he key problems that were encountered in this task are specified belowT :
Material availability
nitially it took longer to obtain appropriate resources than planned so this hindered the projectI ,
slightly.
Lack of skills
Secondly it took longer than scheduled to process the constituents and a lot of material was
wasted for lack of skills.
Cost analysis
Cost investigation was also problematic since it was difficult to get an impression how much each
module will cost ven though the modules were obtainable for free but still if large scale. E
production is required then proper cost investigation would be necessary.
Future Recommendations:
he below steps ought to be followed to get improved products in the forthcoming productionT
processes.
Durability

his product is not long lasting as it can break if it falls from hand So engineers ought to comeT - .
up with improved ideas on how to make it more long lasting and tougher- .
Maintenance issues
t will also e perience some maintenance problems as it is not stress free to swap the battery forI x -
operators herefore there is a key issue with this product it is not very consumer friendly. T .
Cost analysis
Cost investigation is not very precise as there is no idea how the constituents will be delivered he. T
reused constituents will incur some money in delivery transfer charges and inventory,
administration or a single product it is cool to say that it costs little but for large scale. F ,
manufacture some better cost investigation would be necessary.
Business completion
here are no calculations on how this merchandise will perform in the business market since itT
cannot be matched with the e positing products as it is too delicate t can be utilized for personalx . I
use but in the commercial market how it will perform his ought to be well thought out before? T -
deciding to commence production on large scale.
Conclusions:
4

his task was very helpful to comprehend the basic engineering conceptions and to understandT
how engineering merchandises work t offered a lot of new chances to learn new things and? I
understand engineering ideas t also aided to understand how engineering tasks are scheduled. I ,
administered and implemented.
