The document outlines 10 steps to redesign student lockers at a large public high school: 1) Assess the number of students and required lockers. 2) Assess available space. 3) Determine typical student locker contents. 4) Survey students on desired locker capabilities. 5) Evaluate feasibility of suggestions. 6) Inventory reusable locks and handles. 7) Consider more economical and eco-friendly materials. 8) Design efficient lockers that utilize space and materials. 9) Prototype and test designs. 10) Construct and sign-off on the final lockers.

Problem: Suppose you have been hired to re-design the student
lockers at a large public high school. What PROCESS would you use
to tackle this project? Describe the most important steps.

2. Proposed Solution

3. Step 1: Assess the number of students and the number of lockers
required

4. Step 2: Assess the Space Available

5. Step 3: Assess what typically is stored by a student in a
locker (to decide on the capacity of the locker).

6. Step 4: Conduct a survey on what a student would want to
store in a locker which he/she cannot currently do?

7. Step 5: Assess feasibility of the suggestions

8. Step 6: Make an inventory of locks, handles, etc. which can be
reused

9. Step 7: Check for more economical and ecofriendly materials to
construct the new lockers (like plastic/wood instead of the
metal).

10. Step 8: Then taking all of the above into consideration, I would
design lockers that would most efficiently utilise space and
would get constructed with minimum material after exploring
different design options & possible layouts

11. Step 9: Prototype and keep testing till the final design is
approved.

12. Step 10: Construct the lockers & sign-off
