Elaboration of the initial requirements in the design activities

Abstract

In solving the design problems, the initial requirements' clear statement significantly affects the design process's final result. Right from when the design problems are identified, the main requirements must be defined so that the final product meets the designed equipment requirements. Designers noted that design requirements do not have equal significance, and different solutions have been proposed to consider their weight in terms of end-use properties. The weighting can be achieved by simpler and operative methods and by more detailed methods of analysis. The paper approaches the problem of using the double input matrix method for weighting the functional requirements when discussing the problem of designing equipment to investigate the behavior of a computer component when the environment temperature is different compared to the normal temperature. The functional requirements assessment could provide an overview of the financial resources that could be invested in components to adequately meet the functional requirements. A first version of the tracked equipment was designed so that the previously established functional requirements are met.
