MAIN BODY OF THE PROJECT:

Customer Requirements based on the images

IMG_6758: The above image looks like a complicated part of the boat. If it is indeed an
important part of the boat, then lack of maintenance may cause drastic effects. The Part where the
ropes go through and come out, seem to be made of plastic. It looks like it has been subjected to
corrosion.

IMG_6753: This part of the boat helps us realize how labeling would be of great help to us.
Apart from those who handle/operate the boat, the others would definitely be confused. It leaves
no room for error or ease in learning. Product identification would definitely make it much easier
for the customer.

IMG_1174: This picture shows well-exhausted watercraft parts. The materials utilized don't
avoid consumption. They don't coexist well with salt water. The configuration ought to have been
made remembering the certainty the cruel states of the sea.

IMG_6752: The above part shown in the picture has definitely been corroded. By the looks it
seems to be made up of iron, due to which corrosion seems to have taken place more easily. It
must have been placed in the open air, thus leading to contact with salt water and air.

IMG_6754: This is another image which shows us lack of proper identification. A sign can be
seen here, but the problem would be it isnt as clear as it should be. Identification on the ropes
would also be of help to those who dont know where what goes.

IMG_6755: The above image is a clear example for lack of proper design. It should have been
done in such a way that the ropes have separates pockets/shelves in which they can be place in
order to avoid confusion. In the above case the ropes can get tangled and it would take a long
time to get them back to normal.

IMG_1122: A propeller used in a boat needs to made up of a material that resists erosion an
oxidation mainly due to water. This image is another example for lack of design. This image
clearly shows corrosion on the blades. A proper design would be one where we use a material that
would stand up against salt water.

IMG_1151:. This clearly indicates that the boat has been made up a material that can be
consumed by termites and so on. Customers would definitely not want a bug to eat up the entire
boat. Proper materials should have been used in order to avoid bug infestation. Termites and bugs
seem to have eaten up the wood completely.

IMG_6809: The above image gives us a clear history of the ship. It was known as the West Gulf
Blockading Squadron. It basically lets us know more about the ship in detail, about who was in it
and where it was headed.

IMG_6762: The circular item, that keeps the rope in place, seems to have been corroded. It also
seems to have worn out. It would have been better if while designing had they considered a better
material that could stand up against salt water/oxidation etc.

IMG_1159: The dock has been properly designed, it is spacious at the same time it allows boats
of various sizes to be place right next to one another. Proper maintenance can actually expand the
life span of this dock, provided it is maintained at regular intervals.

IMG_1148: From the above image it is clearly visible that another material such as fiberglass
could have been opted for its construction. Salt water comes in contact with the bare wood, due to
the peeling of paint. Lack of maintenance is evident. Paint seems to be peeling off.
CORA- CUSTOMER ORIENTED REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS
Biolinks we will be implementing CORA in order to make note of our customer feedbacks and
thus improving customer satisfaction to make sure we supply high quality products and also
increase our product sales.
CORA stands for Customer Oriented Requirements Analysis. The fundamental reason for
utilizing CORA would be to create client characterized item. CORA is group-arranged strategy

that that focuses on minimizing client disappointment and money related misfortunes because of
that. The following are the major steps involved in CORA:
To Identify User requirements
Engineering Solutions
Parameter Calculations
Bench Marking
Every one of the variables that influence an association's development is picked up in a CORA
spreadsheet.
A careful analysis was done while considering these elements. The arrangements have likewise
been given so as to meet the client's requests. Biolinks essentially picks up information on the
best way to make a vital/very much composed arrangement, since the association is fresh out of
the box new and it needs to remember every one of the components concerned.
CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS:
The following are the points to be kept in mind in order to meet the customers demands, while
also keeping in mind the quality of the product. After a thorough research work the requirements
are ranked beginning from 1 to a highest of 5, with 5 being the most important.

Secured Data transfer protocol (4)

Operation and Performance (5)
Design parameters (4)
Minimize waste by implementing green processes. (3)
Customer Support and service (4)
Affordable Prices (5)
Latest and innovative technology. (5)
Structural reliability. (5)
Raw material availability (3)
Low cost of manufacturing. (4)

Keeping in mind the end goal to verify that the above-mentioned requisites are totally done, the
following engineering solutions were made and they are as per the following:

Product safety
R&D
Expert & Creative Engineering Staff
Detailed manual with videos.
Cost Analysis Software Tools
Recyclable materials
Delivery of Products
Manufacturing Process
Durability Test
Optimum Utilization.
Interface Installation Cost

Design Approval

The Above-mentioned requirements are outline in the CORA model attached in the file below.
CORA ANALYSIS RESULTS:
In our association, we realize that as long as we give the best product with irrelevant to no flaw,
we will in the end meet our customer needs. In the CORA spreadsheet, we had the ability to show
that our method/approach of assessing was even or indeed better than our opponents. Surrendered
there are some Engineering arrangements like productivity and new innovation that we need to
improve on.
The Highest AIR Values Observed:

Manufacturing Process
Expert & Creative Engineering Staff
Optimum Utilization

Manufacturing Process:
The design engineers focus on the functional requirements and user recommendations. The
Absolute Importance Rating is a relative instrument that reveals the rating of not only an
outlining plan (Design) similarly as its association with the customer necessities also in regards to
the next designing plans got by the organization. The configuration Engineers fundamentally tend
to focus more on the commonsense necessities and customer requirements.
Optimum Utilization:
The association focuses on operational precision and minimizes the waste. Fitting Procedure
masterminding and usage of high exactness machines will assist perfect with utilizing of material.
Ideal use is thought to be a designing arrangement that has most extreme total significance rating.
Expert & Creative Engineering Staff:
It is necessary for every organization to setup a team that consists of expert and creative
engineering staff, in order to make sure we deliver the best innovative product possible with top
notch quality too.
RANKY- TAGUCHI CALCULATOR:
Ranky -Taguchi calculator is used to determine an optimum set of experiments to obtain the
results and hence decide on the best choices of the parameters. The spreadsheet beneath is a
reasonable sample. The above analyses were directed under accelerated test conditions. We have
investigated all the discriminating necessities and appear to have fulfilled the most. Despite
everything we verify we chip away at enhancing the procedure, making sure we support our
customers above and beyond expectations.

SOCIAL NETWORKING ARTICLES:
A COMMON MANS CAR? NOT REALLY!
This article lets us know how Toyota produced its hydrogen-energized car. Hydrogen is displayed
in copious, so it's unquestionably accessible like at whatever point we require it.
Toyota was sufficiently keen to fabricate such an auto, as the discharges it would deliver zero
emissions, prompting a contamination free environment. But what about the cost? My main
concern over here would be whether it could be made affordable to all? Keeping in mind that all
the resources are easily available Toyota should definitely make this a common mans car and not
expensive , thus making it outlandish for the normal man to have.
SMART SYSTEMS FOR A GREEN ENVIRONMENT
The real reason for these unsafe substances present in our mother earth is our commercial
enterprises. Smart assembling systems can be executed which tend to keep both our planet and
the businesses in it safe. Smart assembling systems helps us achieve an contamination free

environment The US government assumes a noteworthy part in this reason, by subsidizing them
funds. The administration accordingly assumes a key part in mother earth practicing
environmental awareness. The major reason for an unclean - dirty environment is that our
commercial enterprises lack in arranging, executing et cetera, which thusly prompt destructive
substances discharged into the air, this is unquestionably our mix-up, a human error.
CARBON DIOXIDE A BOON OR NOT?
From the given article, it appears that carbon dioxide is generally thought to be a toxic substance.
Carbon dioxide is thought to be a noteworthy purpose behind a dangerous atmospheric deviation.
Aside from carbon dioxide, methane and other hurtful gasses likewise cause extraordinary risk to
life on earth. From the article we come to realize that few studies have demonstrated that if the
rate of carbon dioxide increments, it could really lead to coastal flooding. Another point that
comes to mind, is whether carbon dioxide the only thing causing pollution? Obviously! It may
have a ton of influence, however it has its own particular points of interest as well. Like for
occasion it assists plants with discharging more oxygen into the climate, more carbon dioxide
results in more air for us to relax. It wouldn't be on the right track to say that carbon dioxide alone
causes a great deal of contamination or it is the sole explanation behind a worldwide temperature
alteration.

SUMMARY:
The CORA Tool has been portrayed of being a gainful instrument for an organization. Using this
technique we have the ability to make upgrades in the couple of foggy ranges in order to meet the
requirements of our customers and match up with our rivals. The Cora gadget moreover gives the
Absolute Importance Rating for each organizations course of action, thusly revising an
organizations decision as to which planning answers they ought to essentially focus on first. By
then from the Ranky-Taguchi figuring, we can center the variety that is the most fundamental to
consider while executing the progressing data trade module.
FUTURE WORK PROPOSED:
Biolinks will make sure that The CORA analysis chart will be monitored at regular intervals and
will definitely be involved in our continuous improvement plans. Based on the CORA results we
will make sure that we are meeting our customers needs beyond expectations. The collaborating
companies also influence the engineering solutions to customer requirements. A strong customer
feedback loop will be applied with improvements in the existing loop. The engineering solutions
will be improved in order to induce more sustainability and green engineering.
