6. Conclusion

The QUICK GPS method is based on the analysis of part positioning and failure analysis, two tasks which require the full expertise of the designers. This approach creates a technical file that can be used to capitalize on information and exchange with all project partners: designers, decision-makers, manufacturers, customers and suppliers. Very often, this analysis reveals shortcomings and enables product design to be improved or simplified.

Specification writing then becomes virtually automatic and very fast, as the rules are very well defined.

The QUICK GPS method can be applied by any professional without the need for additional tools. It gives a consistent dimensioning of the mechanism, even when parts are shared by different designers. Dimensioning is comprehensive and rigorous. However, it may be necessary to adapt the resulting dimensioning...
