D3D Risk Assessment
The main sources of risk experienced in OSE's workshop model indlclude I order of I.pittance and sequencing:
- Design completion - without design co.position, an XM event is impossible to execute
- Instructionals completion - without instructionals completion, from full detail, to cheat sheet, to video detail - XM results are significantly degraded in terms of completion status and crowd enjoyment level
- Supply chain management - issues related to persistent supply chain variability, stock, shipping time, u proven sourcing, etc.
- Marketing - proper video and timely announcement, as well as campaign, are critical. A publicity strategy is the indispensable for success.
- Software (in projects requiring software jnstallation or use)
Supply Chain
High risk, needs resolution urgently. From nonexistent BOM, it will take 100+ hours for proper sourcing completion - about 160 unique parts, so approx 1600 items at 4 minutes per item.
For the Prusa i3 kit from Folgertech, assuming this will be a continuing workshop, backups are needed for the comllete Folgertech kit. This includes laser cut parts, special motor mounts made of metal, off-shelf bolts etc, 3D printed parts, electronics, print surface (not included) and add-on.
Our evolution strategy is to minimize parts count in D3D, and to produce alternative sourcing, with multiple (5 good sources).
Instructionals Completion
Manageable risk, 100 hours required to produce detailed module-by-module instructionals of high quality standards. Best strategy is to have 12 teams do one Module each.
A dustributed approach is the best strategy here.
Design Completion
Low risk. 10 years of development are already embodied in the current design, and it is a mature technology ready for market.
