ABSTRACT
The design of the existing optical computer mouse is redundant, and the aim of this project is to develop new designs implementing Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) principles for improving the existing characteristics to arrive at a ’nal model that is better in aesthetic value, design, and compatibility. In addition, ergonomics will be taken into account to arrive at a better-quality product. Design for manufacture (DFM) principles will also be implemented, thereby eliminating unwanted fasteners and parts for assembly. This will lead to the reduction in material and assembly costs and thereby decrease the overall cost of manufacture that leads to improved pro’t levels. This product will cater to the needs of customers in the medium to high budget range.
