This is quite a challenging project, it took our group a very long time to arrive at the final solution, also it is quite hard to find a good product to fit in our system. We keep changing ideas on the system and product every week. Finally, we have decided on the purified water which is used to serve in the apartment lobby that has more than 50 units. Because we need to consider the cost of the machinery, how often the consumer will use it. Lots of issues and problems we need to think of.
Product service system is not only a service, but also contain a product that gives user benefit. The pps must be workable, useable, and sustainable. Our solution is that design a water station that can fit difference size of the bottle, provide purified water to the users. And in the water station we also have different size and colour of the bottle to sell it to the customers.
Our aim to design this PPS is that to reduce the bottled water waste, encourage people to use reusable water bottle that help the environment, and to reduce the environmental impact.
To work as a group, we have divide to few areas to work on: online research, technical drawings, internal look of the machine, shapes, colour, the division of works will save lots of time for us and provide better result as each of us got to focus in a specific area. From time to time, during the process, we will meet up to discuss our findings, to make sure that we are all on the right tract. As an industrial design student, this project is a good challenge for us. We need to consider lots of problems, issues. And also, make us learn a lot of new knowledge.
