Spec vs. Specs
• A spec consists of a metric, a unit, and a value
• Specs has a set of specs.

Target vs. Final Specs
• Target specs: the hope and aspiration of the design (ideal and marginal)
• Refined specs: trade-offs among different desired characteristics. – Intermediate specs
• Final specs– It is in the project’s contract book
![Page 7: Product Specifications](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813e05550346895da7e26b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
04/20/23 7
Nature of Specifications
• The reference point for functionality design and quality planning
• A product assembly usually requires a hierarchy of specs, for the final product and each of its components

The Product Specs Process1. Set Target Specifications
– Based on customer needs and benchmarks– Develop metrics for each need– Set ideal and acceptable values
2. Refine Specifications– Based on selected concept and feasibility testing– Technical and economic modeling– Trade-offs are critical
3. Reflect on the Results and the Process– Critical for ongoing improvement

Procedure for establishing target specifications
1. Identify a list of metrics and measurement units that sufficiently address the needs
2. Collect the competitive benchmarking information
3. Set ideal and marginally acceptable target values for each metric (using at least, at most, between, exactly, etc.)
4. Reflect on the results and the process
![Page 10: Product Specifications](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813e05550346895da7e26b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
04/20/23 10
Process for setting the final specifications
1. Develop technical models to assess technical feasibility. The input is design variable and the output is a measurement using a metric.
2. Develop a cost model of the product.
3. Refine the specifications, making tradeoffs, where necessary to form a competitive map.
4. “Flow down” the final overall specs to specs for each subsystem (component and part).
5. Reflect on the results to see Whether the product is a winner, and/or How much uncertainty there is in the technical and cost model, or Whether there is a need to develop a better technical model.
