Product: Technology + Innovation

This studio shall apply contemporary best practices related to the design of products within the broader frameworks of technology and innovation. It will deal with products in areas such as home automation, security and surveillance, sanitary ware, clean tech, etc. 1. Problem identification, funnelling and gaps 2. Systematic thinking: Triz principles and applications 3. Product benchmarking: product teardown, learnings documentation 4. Idea finalization, technology options and scope for innovation. 5. Innovation matrix: prioritization and feasibility 6. Usability, technical testing, and feasibility with users 7. How things work: core technologies and how they are used 8. How things are invented: assumptions, postulates, and planning 9. DOE: Design of experiments, multiple iterations 10. House of quality: 6sigma basics 11. Development, testing and prototype 12. Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
