 DESIGN   THINKING   COURSE   REFLECTION 

 I   am   a   member   of   an   engineering   support   team   responsible   for   providing   Design   for   Manufacturing    ( DFM )   input   to   mechanical   design   engineers   during   the   design   cycle   for   new   products .   Our   team   created    documents   called   Manufacturing   Design   Tenets ,   for   use   by   design   engineering   during   the   product   design    cycle   to   improve   the   manufacturability   and   reduce   the   cost   of   a   mechanical   component .    The    information   in   the   design   tenets   was   well   received   by   the   design   engineering   community .   We   have   a    large   design   engineering   community   located   in   North   America ,   Europe   and   Asia .   Dissemination   of   the    information   to   all   members   of   the   community   was   an   issue .   We   had   a   great   product   but   not   all   of   the    consumers   were   aware   of   its   very   existence .   We   tried   several   internal   communication   tools   to   help    familiarize   the   DEs   with   the   tenets ,   but   still   could   not   reach   all   the   potential   customers . 

 We   chose   to   create   a   training   course   for   the   design   engineering(DE )   personnel .   We chose the Learning   Launch tool for this project . We used surveys and focus groups to determine the most appropriate   delivery method for the training . The data showed a preference for on online video training course   which could be viewed at the end users ’ convenience . 

 The   best   way   to   provide   this   training   is   a   one   on   one   session   where   the   Subject   Matter   Expert(SME )   can    answer   the   individual   design   engineer ’s   question .   This   is   not   always   convenient   as   the   SME   is   not   always    available   to   address   the   question   to   meet   the   individual ’s   need .   The   challenge   was   to   present   experience    based    knowledge    to    them    in    a    format    where    they    can    consume    the    training    using    the    latest    media    capabilities .   We   are   in   the   online   video   generation ,   so   a   similar   format   was   selected   to   ensure   success . 

 We   selected   the   10   highest   priority   DFM   Tenets   for   the   video   content .   We   created   a   training   script   for    these   examples .   In   the   training   course   an   SME   discusses   the   tenet ,   then   we   use   videos   to   reinforce   the    tenet .   One   specific   example   we   used   was   for   changing   the   internal   radius   on   a   machined   pocket   to   a   value    to   allow   the   machine   tool   to   machine   this   feature   more   efficiently .   A   video   showing   a   machine   tool   in    operation   was   added   to   reinforce   the   discussion . 

 The training course was added to the training requirements for all of the engineering community . The   online training class allowed the user to set their training schedule .   They liked the reduced time   away from their daily tasks to complete the training . They also liked the internal and external web   sites that were provided for reference after the training was complete . 

 The content of the class met the expectations , however there was room for improvement regarding   the presentation in the video format . The training videos were produced in a three month timeframe .   A longer time schedule would have allowed for an improved product . Some of the video examples   used could have been improved . The production and editing for the video was performed by the   team members , who had limited video editing capabilities . Hiring a team of video production experts   would have improved the quality of the presentation .
