During this assignment, we were looking at how to remove or how to reduce the waste that was created by the vending system. At the present system, all the waste goes to refill. It was very different from just designing a product because we had to understand how the product service system of vending machine, then we have to identify the problem which we find that people are not willing to recycle.
I was satisfied with the group outcome, our concept change a lot from our initial concept, which was a vending machine that has a recycle component to it, which was mainly focus on the recycle component. For our final, it is a refillable vending juicy machine with recycle component. This not only promotes the recycling concept but also a healthy diet for university student.
The advantage of the product service system is that help us to realize what product is related and what problem was there. The disadvantage is that there is a lot of thing other than the product feature that we need to consider, such as if the product fix into the product service system or if the user will willing to use it
If this brief was in studio 2, I would focus more on the form on the product than the actually feature of the product.
