Consider the statement you worked on previously during an in-class team activity.
By looking at your objective tree, generate a list of specifications and house
of quality for the following statement.
If you drive in the state of Florida, you notice some traffic congestion
due to trees being trimmed on state roads and freeways. Assume that the Florida Department of Transportation is the client. Usually, branches
6 inches or less in diameter are trimmed. The allowable horizontal distance
from the edge of the road to the branches is 2m. The material
removed from the trees must be collected and removed from the roadside.
To reduce the cost of trimming, a maximum of only two workers can be
assigned for each machine. The overall cost, which includes equipment,
labor, etc., needs to be reduced by at least 25% from present cost. The
state claims that the demand for your machines will follow the price
reduction (i.e., if you are able to reduce the cost by 40%, the demand will
increase by 40%). Allowable working hours depend on daylight and
weather conditions.
