Risk Assessment and Growth Curves
We have compiled a list of preliminary risks to consider as we enter the Systems Design phase. This list will be added upon as the project progresses.The top ten risks are displayed below:
For the full list of risks, click here.
Top Risks
- Poor work/time management leading to a single team member getting overloaded.
- Failure of device during use due to the high rotation speeds.
- Poor tolerancing/dimensioning leading to an inability to assemble final product.
Key Takeaways
- Good team and project management will be necessary for success.
- Design dimensions will be verified multiple times before prototyping.
- The device will be thoroughly tested for high RPMs to ensure integrity.
Other Team Resources
