Proyect Planning

Proyect Planning

1. Technology solves problems

   • we rely various elements to ensure the construction of technological objects
     • Socioeconomic development
     • Compute software
     • Work skills
     • Development of inovative materials
     • Scientific an d technical discoveries
     • Technical drawings
     • All of these factors have facilited The development of the technological advances.
   • Elements that affect technology
     • Technical drawing
     • Scientific and technical knowledge and concepts
       • For solving problems
     • Materials and their properties
     • Economic factors
       • We must consider the cost of materials, the cost of the production and the buying power of potential consumers
     • Work skills
       • Use of tools and procedures
     • Computers
       • Internet

2. Phases of the technological process

   • 1: Needs: Formulating a proyect
     • Tender document
       • Offcila statement of conditions which form part of a legally-binding contract for a proyect
   • Previous solutions and individual proposals
     • The sketches should express the idea clearly.
   • Group discussion and selection of a solution
     • Strategic Alternatives Matrix (SAM)
       • Offers a mathematical solution which can guide you through the decision making-process.
   • Verification, presentation and evaluation
     • The object should be presented to the class
     • Final evaluation
       • Self evaluation or reciprocal evaluations with other groups
   • Marketing
     • a company can record its initial investment and even earn profit
     • Marketing
       • Price, distribution, advertasing and costumer service.

3. Companies, advertising and the enviroment

   • Companies are based on the efficent of three functions
     • Logistics
       • Objective is to give the product to the customer in the best way possible
       • Includes advertising, transport....
     • Production
       • Related to the production of goods
       • Purchasing of raw materials....
     • Managment
       • Functions related to the objectives of the companies
       • Managment team takes the strategic decisions

4. Workshop organisation and managment

   • Is used to make the work easier
   • Physical space
     • Includes the location of various objects
     • Materials
       • Kept in storage room
     • Work Groups
       • This way is more efficent when each memeber of the group accepts their responsability
     • Projects
       • Organised on shelves by class and by group
     • Documentation
       • There are usually general materials and specific books
     • Tools
       • Usually located in panels with a diiferent colour for each group

5. Tools needed in technology

   • Human beings are the only species that can create new tools from existing ones
   • Physical tools
     • Used in the construction phase of the project
     • cut, hammer, saw, screw
     • Very important to handle tools correctly to avoid accidents
   • Computer tools
     • Involved in various stages of the project
     • Also programs for visual presentations
     • Spreadsheets very important
   • Graphic Design
