3.
A problem situation
(such as: service or manufacturing failure, customer rejection)
Selection criteria
1. Define the application: what the material has to do when it is in service
2. Properties required: what the material should present its properties
when it is in service
3. Availability: whether the materials already commercially produced, or not.
4. Manufacturing method: the possibility to be industrially produced, and
5. Cost consideration
EXERCISE:
Find out the requirements of materials to be used for
drink container and comes up with a choice of suitable
materials for this purpose
