Coffee Cup Design Project

Cassandra, Rohan, Gayathri, Patrick

Background● 54% of people drink coffee over 18● 100 million people in the U.S. drink coffee● Average Coffee cup is 9 ounces

Background Continued

● Work injuries are extremely common● 1 out of 6 involve the hands● Every person should have the option and ability to take

care of themselves● Reason for Project

Mission Statement● Need to consider what needs the customer will have. ● Design the ideal coffee cup to sustain the criteria● Aim to reduce major complications● Make it as easy as possible

Summary of Design Process

● Analyzing the problem● Finding the best solutions● Modeling● Evaluation

AHP

● Customer needs collection and ranking

● Determine criteria using patents

● Assign values of importance for each

● Calculate weightage● Rank criteria

Customer Needs● Sturdy● Thermal● Lightweight● Efficient● Shatterproof● Durable● Portability● Heat Retention● Spill-Proof Lid● Easy to Clean

Drawing Brainstorming

● Create a chart with three most important functions

● Brainstorm possible designs● Patents were used to create

drawings

Customer Needs and Ranking

Best Concepts Include:● Rubberized Plastic● Stainless steel● Screw on lid● Vaccumed Sealed

Design Conclusion & Summary

● Difficulties with this project○ Creation of a clay model of our mug○ Understanding how to prioritize and use AHP

● what you have learned from this project○ It is important to work as a group○ To talk to customers and get their opinion○ Read over other already created versions of

the solutions to our problems
