Subject: DESIGN PROJECT SECTION IV
Date: OCTOBER 20, 2014
Introduction:
The following document contains Section IV, known as the Decision Phase, of the
chicken coop design project for the engineering design team Los Pollos Hermanos.
Discussion:
This section comprises the decision phase for alternative coop designs and the
methodology used to decide which is the most appropriate coop design based on var-ious
criteria. Using the Delphi Method, seven different designs were compared against
each other using various criteria listed in the document. The final design is then pre-sented,
along with the reasons for why it was chosen.
Conclusion:
In Section IV, Los Pollos Hermanos rate and compare various coop designs. Out
of the seven designs looked at, one is chosen as the best based on the criteria selected.
Although the coop chosen was rated the most appropriate based on the design criteria,
there are design elements from some of the other coops that Los Pollos Hermanos
would like to incorporate into the chosen coop design. It is felt that these additions
would improve the overall quality of the coop without significantly compromising
any of the aspects that determined it to be the most appropriate chicken coop in the
first place.
