Portability Of The Electrical Hardware Housing Structure...

Portability Many properties of our prototype contributed to its portability. The electrical hardware housing structure for our prototype measured in at 7.375† x 6.375† x 5.000†, which allowed for a small yet fully functional device. These relatively small dimensions allowed us to easily transport our prototype without concern of having to make accommodations for its size. Our prototype was composed of simple PVC plastic sheets. We cut these sheets to the desired dimensions and attached them using bent aluminum sheet metal. We used 6-32 threaded nuts and bolts to fasten the metal angle brackets to the PVC sheets. This combination of materials and fasteners used to create the housing structure for our electrical components made for a strong, yet lightweight prototype. This strength allowed for our structure to be free standing and added a component of durability without adding to the size or weight significantly. Also, this housing structure contained all of our wires and compone nts meaning that there were no extraneous pieces protruding from the structure. This uniform structure kept components from getting snagged by outside materials during transport. By producing the prototype from these materials at the given dimensions, we were able to create a prototype structure that displayed durability, strength, and functionality while remaining quite portable.

This is very successful if the course follows the text quite closely and in chapter sequence. With groups of experienced managers, it can be stimulating to begin with a session on different approaches to strategic management and strategyRead MoreExploring Corporate Strategy - Case164366 Words   |  658 PagesST Electronics – total quality management for business excellence.
