E-design 100Redesigning the Fujifilm Disposable Camera By Bill Baker, Dan Streeter, Tom Sattman, and Sam Corey
Table of Contents Opportunity Research Specifications Ideas Idea Evalutation Our Design Why It Will Work Summary
The Current Design is Obsolete Opportunity: people could buy more disposable cameras The current plastic isnot eco-friendly Our circuit board uses antiquated through-hole technologyand leaded solder
Research Target customers: families, older people, and people in the lowest income bracket Wal-Mart and McLanahan’s
Specifications Cheap Eco-friendly Durable Easy Assembly Retain Functionality Meets Customers’ Wants and Needs
Considered Solutions Take out flash and electronics Make casing out of PLA polymers Use less packaging Leave flash and change circuit board to SMT LED flash bulb Smaller battery
Newand Improved Design! Surface mount circuit board Lead free solder PLA polymer instead of traditional plastic housing
Surface Mount Technology Smaller, cheaper parts Machine placed PCB costs less Uses lead-free solder
PLA Polymer PLA or Polylactic Acid Resin is a polymer made from corn Replaces traditional petroleum-based plastic 65% less energy to produce 68% fewer greenhouse gases generated Contains no toxins
Socially Sustainable Kept the flash More eco-friendly Bring jobs to United States
Ecologically Sustainable RoHS compliant circuitry, due to lead free solder and different circuit board materials Use of PLA polymer instead of current plastic
Economically Sustainable Even though PLA will cost around 10% more than plastic, our customers care about saving the Earth SMT costs less than through-hole technology Its assembly requires fewer workers
Summary These design changes will improve the product It will increase our company’s popularity with environmentalists We will fulfill our duty to our planet We will sell more disposable cameras!
