2. Convenience
It is impossible for them to hold any container for a long
time thus requiring a flat base.
As a result of its shape, it is convenient for both sellers and
consumers.
3. Stability
In order to provide the best experience for customers we
cannot let the goodness of the nuts roll out of their
containers.
wind
Our container is unlikely to topple over due to its low centre
of gravity that results from its low height of 4.04 cm.
4. Stability
A good container like such must be able to be placed on
surfaces and maintain maximum stability.
Our container can be placed on any surface such as a
table easily due to its flat base.
5. Practicality
Practicality is key. In order to maximize sales one must be
able to store the containers well and that requires
stacking.
Our design allows the one making the sales to stack up the
containers so that a huge amount of containers can be
stored in a small space.
6. Manufacturing
Manufacturing of these containers must be easy to
minimize cost of production to keep prices of the nuts
cheap and maximize profit.
It is easy for the manufacturer of the containers as all they
have to provide is the base layout on an A4 sheet. For
the Kacang Puteh man, it is easy for him to construct the
container as he just has to follow and follow along the
lines of the given layout.
7. Structure
A container requires strength to withstand what the consumer
can throw at it!
We used the extra pieces (4.04 by 4.04 cm) at the four corners
of the paper to secure and construct the cuboid to ensure that
it is firm and durable. Watch our video to better understand
how the extra pieces of square paper secure our cuboid.
9. Optimization
This container design has to be practical and also maximize
volume with minimum wastage of resources. The shape
has to be easy to make and actually practical to use rather
than just focusing on the volume.
Our design inculcates the calculation for maximum volume
with the shape that is the most practical and functional
with an 'easy and efficient to make and use' design with
high volume to maximize use of the paper while
maintaining practicality.
10. Hypothetical situation
In this decision making we cannot tell which nuts would be
placed in the container and the measurements of such
and assume that the spaces between the nuts and the
nuts with the walls of the container are negligible.
