1 Yellow Team Manioc Grater October 20, 2005 L. Basel C. Chestnut C. Farm C. Hatton S. Lee K. Mears A.Phipps J. Rebula S. Turner N. Villarruel

2 Target Market Haiti and West Africa: Rural Farmers Village Communities

3 Customer Needs High Production Rate Repairable, Robust Low Cost Off-grid Energy Source Easy to Clean Flexible

4 Pricing Estimates Recommendations : Reduce cost, increase manufacturability and reparability Shaft: lightweight steel bar or rebar Less material, increased structural stability Attach chair with simple steel frame Mockup: $50 to construct 15 lbs w/o chair Target: $15 to construct 15 lbs total 20 hrs of labor

5 Rate Target Rate = 17.05 kg/hr Achieved Rate = 42.12 kg/hr Nearly 2.5X the desired Market Rate! Competitive Ratio = Average(Rate i /Cost i ) Manioc Comp. Ratio =.341 kg/$hr

6 Performance vs. Price

7 Design 3 Bearing Surfaces Hopper Contact Point Grating Surface: Galvanized Steel Foot Peddle Mechanism

8 Grating Surface Decision: Galvanized Steel Shurform Reciprocating Blade Rasp Wire Brush Carbide Rod
