and resources. Organise and plan in detail the production of the selected solution.

3&4

Critical Evaluation

Evaluate existing products/systems; the work of designers and their own work (see the Critical Analysis help sheet pages 8&9) check the performance of the product/solution against the original specification. Use different methods and sources to assess the effectiveness of a product (e.g. sampling, questionnaires, interviews).Suggest any possible modification and improvements (consideration to include functional, safety, aesthetic, ergonomic and economic factors)
