Design of Anti Overload Bag product with the Nigel Cross Approach

Abstract

The use of a backpack that is not appropriate has a significant negative impact on users. These negative effects can cause back pain and changes in body posture. Many students who carry backpacks on their backs exceed 10% of the total body weight. Therefore, an innovative backpack product, Anti Overload Bag. This bag is equipped with sensors and alarms that will sound if the load that lifted does not match the load that it should be. In the process of making the product design, the Anti Overload Bag is first used a brainstorming technique to determine the characteristics of the product to be made, then draw conclusions from the brainstorming that has been collected. Then the sampling technique done by distributing open and closed questionnaires to determine the type of product. Then a market survey is conducted using a sampling technique, to determine the validity and reliability of the main products with products of competitors I, II, III. Sub problem steps to sub solutions are carried out to determine the Product Quality Function Deployment (QFD). The sub-solution step to the solution is determined to generate and evaluate alternatives by the sum of the paired matrices between attributes.
