Presentation Outline

4. Problem Statement
Client’s Objective:
 To monitor effluent quality/condition/readings to
comply with the government’s environmental law
and regulations.
 Environmental Quality (Sewage) Regulations
2009, item 10 (b).

5. Problem Statement
Impact to Non-compliance:
Fine due to
non
compliance

6. Problem Statement
Current Solution:
1) Sampling Method
 Client needs to send waste sample to the laboratory, or
 Hire a third party to collect the waste sample and analyse the
quality in their laboratory.
 Client will receive report in agreed time. (one month)
2) Wired Flow Meter
 Cable from flow meter to power source from building
 Use thumbdrive to get data from device and view data with
computer

7. Gap Identification
Sampling Method Wired Flowmeter
 Time delay – up to 3
months
 Not accurate reading –
vary due to external
factors (climate)
 Client is not able to
monitor waste quality at
all times
 High cost
 Maintenance for cabling
 Client is not able to
monitor waste quality at
all times

8. Gap Identification
‘We’ can develop…
 A product with lower cost
 A product that is able to read water quality
immediately (in real time)
 A product that shows accurate reading
 A product that can controlled by client
 A product that is simple & can be operated by
one person

22. Manufacturability and Value
Engineering
 Activities that help to improve a product’s design,
production, maintainability, and use .
 They are the best cost-avoidance technique available to
operation management.
 This technique reduced the price of our product almost
50% of the unwire less product.

23. Manufacturability and Value
Engineering
The benefits are:
1. Reduced complexity of products (easy to operate)
2. Additional standardization of products (real time
results)
3. Improved functional aspects of product (applying
extra tests as required)
4. Improved job design and job safety (wire less
technology)
5. Improved maintainability of the product (after sale
service)

24. Product Value (Legally &
Environmentally)
 Approved registration from the MyIPO
 Compile with government’s environmental law
and regulations.
 View product design from a systems perspective
 Use less harmful ingredients
 Use lighter components
 Use less energy
 Use less material

25. The Future of Flow Meter with
Data Logger
 Direct reporting to the legal authority, corporate,
division
 ‘Cloud’ sharing system
 Odour integration system
