CHAPTER 3

CONCEPT GENERATION

3.1

Introduction

In this chapter, we are going to discuss about our design concept generation
based on our problem statement. The problem from the current system was been listed
and also been analyze so that we can generate new ideas for our new systems. After we
fully analyze the problem, we were listed all the requirements for our new system such
as performance, ergonomic, costing, safety, environment and maintenance. Based on all
the requirements, our group came out with own concept which follow the specification
for improvement of the concept system.
