    Product Design Specification

    A product design specification (PDS) is a statement of what a not-yet-designed product is intended to do. Its aim is to ensure that the subsequent design and development of a product meets the needs of the user.

    The PDS acts as an initial boundary in the development of products. However, it will naturally evolve as it is progressed through the different stages of the design process.

    Responsibillity and Gantt Chart

    Every project is time consuming, what is very important is how to manage the the time, cost and work to do. For this, we planned what we have to do in every week and this will make us more alert and know which and what to do. Currently we are in week 7 and that mean we are at the 'procurement of mechanical stage'

    Gantt Chart

    Every team members will have their own task. But this doesnt mean they should focus on their task only. In our team, we help each other and we discuss and take everyone opinion. But the one who held the highest responsibility to the task should complete the task on time so this project will be run smoothly.
