Event Overview

In the real world of Business and Markets, successful products must meet internal and external customer needs and satisfy the ultimate consumer or user, however, they must also comply withthe internal business objectives of the company(s) that designs, produces, and sells the product. These overall requirements are equally valid whether the products are services or physical goods.Therefore a project should always start by looking at the input market factors, with particular emphasis on understanding and translating customer needs into technical terms that form the language of engineers who can then initiate the related design and management processes.

All projects within integrated engineering/production operations, from the earliest stages, must assure, a. That a valid and profitable commercial marketplace exists for the product, and b. A successful, on time, introduction of the new product or innovation.

ObjectivesBy linking the three Static Events, it should help students: - Understand the role of product and customer drivers in development of successful products. - Place the role of product design in an overall system context and understand methods for developing functional requirements and attributes aligned to the market place. - Enable new products and designs to be evaluated as business, rather than emotional decisions and to integrate functional, financial and strategic objectives. - Understand general business and technical processes and the application of Product Management methods in target setting and implementation control. - Recognise the need to define rational up front objectives for a product, which will then guide the execution process. The product, and a successful, on time, introduction of the new product or innovation.

ObjectivesThe following aspects should be considered across the three Static Events as part of a holistic approach to a project, to indicate the students understand the relative importance and not work in isolation.

Many of the following aspects should be observed during the presentations:

- Understanding the importance of Objectives - Understanding Customer needs/wants - Opportunities for Innovation (in cost, manufacture, function, weight, appearance, appeal, etc.) for new and replacement vehicles or systems - Market Research – its use and to show understanding of the suitability and reality - Understanding how to market and sell your product to your audience, keeping in mind the 4 P’s: product, place, price, promotion - Customer Definition of Function (not what the engineer designing the part thinks) - Defining what your product is to be to help guide the team through the execution - Affordability Analysis, which means you must know the costs - What are Musts, Wants and Priorities in setting out your business plan and design - Assuring that the Product Design offers Value - Recognising realistic Time factors in setting the scope and work plan - Design Optimisation - maintaining compatibility across different types of objectives - Plans or processes for Verification of Design - ensuring satisfaction in advance.

Event Overview cont.

For the integrated 2020 On-Line FSAE-A Static Events Competition, it is presumed that some teams will have beenproceeding with a new, or significantly changed, vehicle for 2020, whereas others will have not been able toprogress a new vehicle, and have been focusing on their 2021 vehicle, bypassing 2020.

As there will not be a Dynamic section to the 2020 Competition, some teams which may have been planning touse a modified prior year vehicle for any Dynamic events, will now likely re-focus on getting a leg-up on the 2021competition. Proposed designs for new systems and features for a 2021 vehicle will now be tackled with theextended time available. The On-Line Static Events Competition provides the opportunity to get early feedback andassessment on your proposals, well in advance of 2021 as well as enabling some feeling of completion and involvement for students involved in Formula SAE who will be completing their course this year. In all cases, the On-Line competition will enable teams to present a major changed system embodied in their 2020or 2021 vehicle. The 2020 On-Line competition represents an opportunity to get a step up on 2021, by getting ahead start with developing designs for 2021 and basing a submission around the planned new vehicle to obtain early critique. All teams entering will gain the advantage of the experience of interaction with the judges, probably on a moreintimate basis than possible at the full competition, and early review of initial designs or planned new concepts.Even teams not developing major changes for 2021 may still enter and gain the experience and feedback value forteam members from the event. A summation of the key changes and rationale for a group of the systems most revised, rather than a major all-new system, may still form the basis for a competition entry.

Event Captain: Mario CappolaScope With cancellation of the Formula SAE-A 2020 live event due to COVID-19, we are offering an On-line Cost Event (OCE) to continue the education and learning aspects of this competition to competing teams.

Objectives The fundamentals of the Cost Event have not changed for 2020. However, key elements have been revisited based on prior years feedback, alignment to other Formula Student/Formula SAE competitions, and the on-line nature of Formula SAE-A 2020. The following points are supplementary objectives used by the Cost Team in developing the 2020 event concept, along with our colleagues in Design and Presentation events: 1. Teams to demonstrate the Cost and Manufacturing Engineering work they have completed to date for the 2021 competing car. 2. Additional emphasis to be placed on Cost Methodology and knowledge thereof – rather than outright lowest cost. Total vehicle cost must still be provided, as it must tie into the overall business case per the Presentation Event. 3. Align Cost and Presentation events with Design concepts and revisions. *A key enabler of alignment between the three static events is that Cost detail must be submitted for only one system, which has undergone the most significant change for 2021 – a team’s “Nominated System”. 4. New principles introduced for 2020, teams will be judged on: a. How they set Cost Targets b. How they hold team members accountable in meeting these targets, andc. How they manage change, both before and after releasing ‘frozen’ data to FSAE-A 20205. Teams will be scored based on the knowledge of: a. The technical details of their Nominated System b. Setting Cost Targets and tracking Cost Status c. Change Management process(es) d. Understanding of BoD, BoP, BoM (Bill of Design, Process, Materials) e. Standard FSAE Cost Tables and models f. The “Value” equation and how it translates to the Weekend Racer g. Cost Engineering/Efficient Design principles.

Cost Event

11

Format The OCE will be conducted via Zoom video conferencing, hosting all judges and student team members. The OCE will be split into two main parts: Cost and Manufacturing Engineering → 70 points Cost “Real Case” Scenario → 30 points For a total of 100 points.

Note: A more detailed marking breakdown will be provided at a later date. Due to the magnitude of change to the Cost Event for 2020, the updated scoring rubric requires some additional time to develop.

Due to the on-line nature of the event, the lowest cost portion is no longer considered as part of the scoring rubric, as it cannot be robustly managed or judged without physical evaluation. However, total vehicle cost must still be derived and supplied through means expanded on below.

Teams must submit a fully populated Cost Summary and eBOM per the “FSAE eBOM Template”, as found on FSAE Online. This will provide the team’s total vehicle cost, plus a high-level view of cost breakdown across all Systems, for judges of all static events.

For a team’s Nominated System, they must also supply: 1. Assembly cost detail sheets 2. Part cost detail sheets 3. Drawings, Photos and other materials (“Supplementary Material”) such that Cost Judges may validate the detailed costs.

NOTE: Any team submitting detail sheets and Supplementary Material beyond their Nominate System will not receive anyadvantage. For ease of judging, it is requested that teams only submit5 the data outlined above.

The OCE will run for a total of forty-five (45) minutes, split by: 5 minutes → Introductions 25 minutes → Cost and Process Engineering 10 minutes → Real Case Scenario 5 minutes → Two-Way Feedback

Cost Judges will refer to the team’s Design Reports (DRs and Design Spec Sheets - DSS) before judging, to aid better integration across events.

COST AND MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING – DETAIL Work Required Prior to Event: - Using Cost Event Rules Supplement section CL.1, teams are to identify the System which has undergone the greatest level of engineering change (the “Nominated System”), versus their last entry at FSAE-A. Note: This System selected may be of greater or lesser cost than previous years – there is no right or wrong answer in this regard. - Teams are required to complete a Cost Summary Sheet and full EBOM, per “FSAE eBOM Template” found on FSAE Online, that captures their total vehicle cost. - Teams are required to provide complete detail documentation for their Nominated System, based on the most mature design available upon submission. IMPORTANT – System structure must still adhere to Section CL.5 parent-child relationship (System-Assembly-Part). Materials to be submitted by all teams: For submission dates, refer Key Milestones schedule.

Key Notes/Summary Teams are expected to submit8 a cost report of similar (preferably better!) quality to previous years, but Assembly/Part details, plus Supplementary Materials provided for only one (1) System. One (1) Week Prior to the Event: - Should a team make any design changes within their Nominated System after their Cost Report is submitted, these changes must be captured via Addendum submitted one (1) week prior to the event. Note: FSAE Cost Addenda reflect the team’s ability to report out on Change. Thus, it is considered a key part of Judging where applicable. - There are no points allocated directly to Addenda submissions, however teams will be queried about and judged on their Change Management process(es).

Event Day Running1. Teams are expected to introduce all members who may be presenting in the OCE, stating relevant team background information to assist Cost Judges. 2. Teams should open by providing judges of a comparison of Nominated System costs between their 2019 and 2021 entries. - Teams will be assessed on how clear the comparison data is. - This must be not more than one (1) slide. - This slide must be made available to the Cost Judges at the conclusion of Judging. 3. Judges will then guide teams along a path such that they will demonstrate their knowledge of: - Their Nominated System - Setting cost targets and tracking status - BoD, BoP, BoM principles - FSAE Cost Tables and modelling - Their EBOM structure - Change Management - Cost Engineering and Efficient Design principles

COST “REAL CASE” SCENARIO – DETAIL

This section will be managed the same as previous years. There will be no surprises, just a new topic for 2020. A“Real Case” Scenario will be provided to teams by no later than 16th October 2020

Some useful notes and tools to help your responses on the Event Day, new to 2020:

- Test all audio and video before joining your allocated presentation time. - Teams must have quick and easy access to all documentation submitted to FSAE-A 2020 upon request, including Cost Summary, EBOM, Detail sheets, Supplementary Material - Pre-prepare responses to Cost Judge’s questions. This document contains a lot of information on what is expected. The scoring rubric, when provided, will only provide greater detail. - Keep all responses outside of the Real Case Scenario to ‘elevator pitch’ timing. Judges will interject and ask teams to wrap up their response if they feel it is taking too long to reach the point. This is reflective of industry management interactions. - Use the chat function to share any supporting documentation if requested by the judges. - If team members are joining from separate locations and/or devices, ensure that only the team member speaking is unmuted.

Cost Comparison Data:

To aid comparison of 2019 to 2021 cost data, it may be advantageous to show a Cost Bridge/Waterfall, clearly showing a summary of causal factors for cost variation. - An example is shown in Figure 1, shown on the right. - Teams may use another means of visually representing the data. This is only one tool, but one widely used in industry. - Teams may find it useful to visually represent the breakdow between Material, Process, Fastener and Tooling costs associated. Note: There is a useful pie chart on the FSAE EBOM template, but teams may develop their own means of achieving this.

Examples of questions that may be asked on the day: - How did the team go about setting Cost Targets (Part, Assembly, System targets, rolled up to total vehicle cost targets)? - How did the team hold members accountable to meet these targets? - What means did the team use to control costs, if ‘actuals’/Status exceeded targets? - How did the team manage design changes before and after releasing ‘frozen’ Cost/Design data to FSAE-A? - What are some factors that influenced the decision-making process, specifically regarding cost? - How was cost considered in the base design of a system/assembly/component? What design optimisation tools were used? - What is the assumption of vehicle/system/assembly/component life? - What considerations were given regarding incremental revenue in Cost decision making? i.e. would the “Weekend Racer” pay more for an added feature/updated design?

saea.com.au

Cost Event cont.

Scope You are the product team working on your company’s next generation of its existing open-wheeled race car, geared towards the weekend racer market. You’ve been asked by senior management to develop the next iteration of your flagship open-wheeled car with a major design change that will enhance its appeal as a prime requirement; additional updates to other areas to improve the vehicle may be included as needed. You are to develop a business case to present to senior management to convince them your next-gen car is a viable product to design, manufacture and sell.

Important aspects to consider in your presentation to senior management: - Identify a market-driven need for any new features, functionality or other design changes between iterations. What’s changing and why is this important? Will it drive sales, improve manufacturing efficiencies or deliver some other tangible benefit? - What are the benefits to your customer? Why will they want to upgrade their existing car, or why would a new customer switch from a competitor to your car? - What is the total cost of the car and how will any cost savings from the nominated system changes improve profit margin while keeping sale price appropriate for your market? - What is the go-to-market strategy for the next-gen car?

*Note: The Presentation and Cost events will have to refer to the proposed Design changes as presented in the Design event. Themajor design change referenced in the presentation must be the same change referenced in the Design and Cost Reports.

Business Plan Presentation Event

17

Business Plan Presentation cont.Format The presentations will be conducted online using Zoom conferencing software. Each Zoom session will host multiple judges in addition to the student team members participating. The specific details on Zoom sessions will be provided when teams receive their Zoom appointments. Each competitor will be assigned a 40-minute appointment via Zoom.

A team of three to four judges will grade the competitors for feedback purposes. Each judging panel will have a stream leader who will collate scores and feedback and run the session. While this person will not be scoring, they will be able to ask questions during the Q&A period.

The 40-minute session will break down as follows: - Up to 5 minutes logging on and greetings - Presentation segment up to 20 minutes with approximate time distribution of session: - Up to 10 minutes team presentation - Up to 10 minutes judges/team Q&A - Up to 5 minutes judges’ deliberation – judges will enter a Zoom breakout room for deliberation. Presenters are required to wait in the main meeting room during this time. - Up to 10 minutes feedback session

The question and answer period wherein only judges may ask questions and only presenters may answer still applies; therefore, be sure to introduce all participants upfront. It is allowable for a presenter to only participate in the question and answer section; however, he/she must be a member of the presentation group and identified as such.

Teams are encouraged to have all material for their presentation readily available on their computer to share on-screen withjudges.9 If teams wish to share any supporting materials with the judges, this can be done via the chat function in the meeting room.

saea.com.au 18

Business Plan Presentation cont.Scoring The judges will use the standard score sheet for event scoring feedback. This form breaks the scoring into five, equally-weighted categories: - Content (10 points) – is the material included in the presentation sufficient to support the business case and meet all requirements? - Organization (10 points) – does the content flow and does the presentation make logical sense? - Delivery (10 points) – have presenters dressed appropriately and do they have a thorough understanding of the topic? - Visual Aids (10 points) – do accompanying slides or other media add value without taking away from the overall presentation? - Questions (10 points) – are questions answered without too much hesitation and do answers demonstrate a deeper understanding of the topic? A perfect score on the judges’ form will be 50 points. Judges will be rotated throughout the event and scores will be normalised to ensure there are no outliers or bias within the scoring.

Return of score and feedback sheetsScores and judges’ comments will be emailed to the team leader within 48 hours after the close of the online Presentation event.

Online presentation tips! - Test all audio and video before joining your allocated presentation time. If any on-screen presentations have sound, please ensure you test this as well. - If all team members are in the same room, ensure the camera is set up so all presenters are in the frame and everyone can be picked up by the microphone. - Use the screen sharing function to share any visual aids. - Use the chat function to share any supporting documentation. Please note supporting information should be supplemental in nature only and not a substitute for your presentation. You may be questioned on this material during the Q&A period. - If team members are joining from separate locations and/or devices, ensure that only the team member speaking is unmuted. - Brainstorm potential questions the judges might ask to practice answering questions. - Practice your presentation using the platform beforehand. Zoom offers free accounts with a 40-minute time limit for multiple attendees, or no time limit for only two attendees.

Technical Inspection & Design CritiqueEvent Captains: Graeme Palmer, Kin CheongScope

With cancellation of the Formula SAE-A 2020 live event due to COVID-19, we are offering an on-site Technical Inspection and critique on teams’ Design progress to enable the continuation of the education and learning aspects of this competition for competing teams.

Objectives - Provide a Technical Inspection and Design critique for each team in each State as per the above dates. - Give teams the opportunity for an early Technical Inspection and Design critique prior to further commitment to the 2021 vehicle by providin guidance and advice on the progress of their 2021 car. - Answer any questions and provide feedback on any eligibility issues as they arise during the Inspection.

Format - Technical Inspection - Teams to request a Technical Inspection as per the on-line registration form. - Cars will be inspected at an agreed site as per the 2020 FORMULA SAE Rules and as listed on the FSAE-A Technical - Inspection Sheet for both Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and Electric Vehicle (EV). - Depending on the number of Team requests per State a suitable venue will be selected which may result in a common location for the inspection of two or more cars, most likely 1 University per State. - Depending on the build progress of each vehicle at that point in time, the depth of the inspection and review will vary. - Each team shall have at least one representative who is prepared to discuss any issues the team may have with the car. Any issues/questions will be recorded and written on the Technical Inspection sheets for reference along with any appropriate photos to aid in the advancement of each car. - Any unresolved issues will be referred back to the Technical Inspection event captain (Graeme Palmer) for further investigation and clarification, with a written response provided as soon as possible afterwards to the team.

Format - Design Critique - Concurrent with the Technical Inspection as per above, teams will have the opportunity to communicate with a team of Design Judges via Zoom and video link who will be located at various sites remote from the vehicle - The team will demonstrate any aspects of their design they wish to have assessed so that feedback can be provided well before the team commits to their 2021 design and build - This assessment will be a 2-way discussion so that both the teams and the judges can review any aspects of the design in an informal, relaxed environment without the pressure of points at stake.
