Hi,
Production planning can be in the form of a time chart, sequence drawing and flowchart.
For time chart which you have been using all this while, you can refer to your textbook on the section of production planning.
For sample of sequnece drawing, click here.

Development Update
Hi,
These are the breakdown of what you might consider under the development in your journal.
The mindmap below outlines some of the factors affecting the development of a design.
Factors to consider in development.
Ergonomics: Design for human usage. For eg. Any parts of the design which has handle / Design that fits into palm size / Design to be wore over the wrist or any bodyparts / Design to be hung on wall. You will have to look into ergonomics. Refer to my previous post on ergonomics or click here for more.
Shapes and Forms: REMEMBER, THE DESIGN FROM IDEATION YOU HAVE CHOSEN IS NOT THE FINAL DESIGN. Parts of the design you can still modify forms further to make it aestetically appealing and ergonomically comfortable and safe.. Click here for reference.
Materials: Have to research and find the right material that will influence the final design. For example: For wearing accessories, what material would be suitable so that it is light? / For the base of CD holder, material that is durable and strong? Click here to find out more and here1 and here2 for more samples.
Function (TECHNOLOGY): What function does your product has? For eg: A product that turns for a few second when activated has to research into and consider on the mechanism (gears) and electronics (motor, timer circuit and its wiring) / A product that produces light may look into different light outputs and circuit design and implementation. Refer here or here for more. For samples of development of mechanism, click here.
Construction/Assembly: You need to plan and detail down how you cut and join each eseential parts in your joournal. It must tie in with your production plan. Prior, Research on the joints and fixings suitable for your design. Click here for more info on joints and fixings. Along the making, do take a snap shot of essential stages and detail down any changes, modifications , challenges in your development in the journal.

Topics for S4E D&T MYE 2010
Hi,
All topics that were taught last year will be examined.
The paper is a 2 hours paper. Part 1 comprises 40 marks mainly on design questions. Part 2 comprises 3 elective questions of 20 marks each on electronics, mechanisms and structures question.
For the design question, the following topics in the text are important
(1) ideation technique (SCAMPER, Shape Borrowing, Relay Thinking, etc)
(2) research
(3) Ergonomics and Anthropometry
(4) 3-D drawing (Isometric, Oblique, etc)
(5) 4 stages of design model (Situation, Ideation, Development & Realisation)
(6) Development of project and Evaluation
(7) Planning and Monitoring of Project
For the elective questions, the following topics are important
(1) Electronics
(a) parallel and series arrangment
(b) Resistors, LDR
(c) transistor and sensing circuit
(d) thyristor
(e) Electrolytic and non-electrolytic capacitor
(f) Switches (SPDT, DPDT, etc)
(2) Mechanism
(a) Open and Closed loop system and example
(b) Function of mechanism (To control the speed, to control the motion, etc)
(b) All types of mechanisms, its application and how each mechanism/mechanism-part works with its motion involved (rotary, reciprocating, oscillating and linear).
(3) Structures
(a) Different types of structure (frame/shell/natural/man made) and its functions (support, span, contain , protect).
(b) Different types of load (static and dynamic)
(c) Understand what is truss, cantilever, brace, etc and other structural terms and be able to identify them in practical usage
(d) Different types of forces
(e) Method of reinforcing
(f) Moment of turning
(g) Define the following: strain, elasticity, stress, etc
That's all....All topics can be found in textbook.
All the best and GOod LUck..............

Coursework Dateline
P.S. Dateline for Journal Checking is 8th April 2010..
Guys and Gals,
I am sure you know what to focus on right now....
I need to reiterate...
Our dateline for the artifact and the first draft of journal is still 31 May 2010.
Your Planning and Monitoring is important. Do fill in your time chart and keep a regular update on your progress including the conversation details we had over the past few months.
Once term 3 commences, on the 3 periods lesson day, I can concentrate mostly on your presentation board which comprises the isometric presentation drawing, contextual drawing, working (orthographic drawing) and exploded drawing.
For the 2 period lesson, I can focus on your theory. I should be able to do a thorough revision before your O level in November.
Coming to your mid year, pls get your basic concept and knowledge right. Whatever you have been taught last year will be examined. Study your textbook and also the notes and worksheets I have given to you last year.
All the BEST....
