Stages in The IB Design Cycle
Identifying. Researching. Generating Ideas. Developing. Realising. Testing
1 of 53
Design Brief
Design Goal. Target Market. Major Constraints. Criteria
2 of 53
Design Cycle Model
Consists of successive stages that can be arranged as a systematic cyclical process that eventually converges to produce a solution to a problem
3 of 53
Incremental Design
Small changes to the design of a product that seem trivial but the cumulative effect over a longer period can be very significant.
4 of 53
Radical Design
completely new product is devised by going back to the roots of a problem and thinking about a solution in a different way
5 of 53
Convergent Thinking
the ability to analyse information in order to select an answer from alternatives.
6 of 53
Divergent Thinking
using creative ability to produce a wide range of possible solutions to a problem
7 of 53
Constructive Discontent
Analysing a situation that would benefit from redesign, and working out a strategy for improving it.
8 of 53
Adaption
an existing technology or solution to a problem in one field is used to provide a new idea for a solution in another.
9 of 53
Analogy
The transfer of an idea from one context to another
10 of 53
Brainstorming
participants use the ideas of others to spark off their own ideas and to build upon and combine ideas to produce new one
11 of 53
Attribute Listing
Attribute listing identifies the key attributes of a product or process and then enables designers to think of ways to change, modify or improve each attribute
12 of 53
Morphological Synthesis
Morphological synthesis is an elaboration of attribute listing
13 of 53
Free hand Drawing
The spontaneous representation of ideas on paper without the use of technical aids. Used very early in the design process.
14 of 53
Orthographic Drawing
A series of flat views of an object showing it exactly as it is in shape and size.
15 of 53
Isometric Drawing
A 3D representation of an object drawn with the horizontal plane at 30° to the vertical
16 of 53
Exploded Isometric Drawing
An isometric drawing of an object with more than one component that depicts how the parts of assemblies fit together
17 of 53
Perspective Drawing
A 3D drawing that realistically represents an object by utilizing foreshortening and vanishing points (usually imaginary ones).
18 of 53
CAD
The use of computers to aid the design process
19 of 53
Computer Modelling
A computer program that attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system
20 of 53
Algorithm
An algorithm is a sequence of instructions to describe a set of actions
21 of 53
Flow Chart
A flowchart is a schematic representation of a process
22 of 53
Mathematic Model
A model using mathematical symbols that can be manipulated numerically

Product Cycle
The product cycle is about putting the product into commercial practice, making and marketing the product and eventually seeing it become obsolete.
28 of 53
Early PC
Product Development (no sales) Introduction (sales are low)
29 of 53
Late PC
Growth Stage (period of rapid revenue
30 of 53
Mature PC
Most profitable Sales continue to increase
31 of 53
Invention
The process of discovering a principle. A technical advance in a particular field often resulting in a novel product.
32 of 53
Innovation
The business of putting an invention in the marketplace and making it a success.
33 of 53
Dominant Design
the design contains those implicit features of a product that are recognized as essential by a majority of manufacturers and purchasers.
34 of 53
Fusion into the market Place
The wide acceptance (and sale) of a product.
35 of 53
Market Pull
The initial impetus for the development of a new product is generated by a demand from the market.
36 of 53
Market Push
Where the impetus for a new design emanates from a technological development
37 of 53
Lone Inventor
A lone inventor is an individual working outside or inside an organization who is committed to the invention of a novel product and often becomes isolated because he or she is engrossed with ideas that imply change and are resisted by others.
38 of 53
Product Champion
An influential individual usually working within an organization who develops an enthusiasm for a particular idea or invention and “champions” it within that organization.
39 of 53
Technophile
someone who immediately welcomes a technological change
40 of 53
Technophobe
someone who resists all technological change
41 of 53
Technocautious
someone who needs convincing before embracing technological change
42 of 53
Corporate Strategy
Long-term aims and objectives of a company and ways of achieving them by allocation of resources
43 of 53
Pioneering Strategy
Pioneering means being ahead of the competitors by introducing a new product first.
44 of 53
Imitative Strategy
The imitative strategy aims to develop a product similar to the “pioneered” product as quickly as possible. It takes advantage of R&D invested by others, and is less risky, but is based on a strong development capability.
45 of 53
Market Penetration
increasing sales to existing customers or finding new customers for existing products.
46 of 53
Market Development
Finding new applications for existing products, thereby opening up new markets.
47 of 53
Product Development
The creation of new, modified or updated products aimed mainly at companies existing customers.
48 of 53
Diversification
This involves a company both in the development of new products and in selling those products to new companies.
49 of 53
Market Sectors
a broad way of categorizing the kinds of market the company is aiming for.
50 of 53
Robust Design
Flexible designs that can be adapted to changing technical and market requirements.
51 of 53
Product Family
a group of products having common classification criteria. Members normally have many common parts and assemblies.
52 of 53
Hybrid Strategy
Companies that use a mixture of imitative and innovative strategies in order to maximize profit and sales and results in a quick turn around, and the benefits are there will be less disruption within the company should something go wron
