WHAT IS OBJECTIVE TREE METHODS ?
It shows the objectives in a diagrammatic or in a tree structure or hierarchical pattern hence it is called as objective tree method. The aim of this method is to clarify the design objectives and sub-objectives and the relationship between them. It shows the objectives and general means for achieving them, which are in consideration.
PROCEDURE OF OBJECTIVES TREE METHOD
Prepare a List of Design Objectives (Client or Your Advisor Requirements, User Needs or Product Purpose).
Some from the design brief Others by questioning the client More by discussion in the design team
Group the Objectives into Sets of hierarchical levels, each concerned with one Highest-Level Objective. Draw Tree of Objectives, showing hierarchical relationships and interconnections.
EX. MACHINE TOOL.
Step1: Prepare list of design objectives
Main objective m/c tool must be safe and reliable Its sub-objectives are, - Low risk of injury to the operator. - Low risk of operator mistake. - Low risk of damage to work piece or tool. - Automatic cut-out overload.
Step2: Order the list into sets of higher level & lower level objectives.
-It must be safe. -Low risk of injury to the operator. -Low risk of operator mistake. -Low risk of damage to work piece or tool. -Automatic cut-out overload.
STEP 3. Drawing of tree structure
Machine must be mmmmacc safe
HOW
Low risk of injury Low to oprator
Low risk of operator mistake
Low risk of damage Low risk of injury to workpice or tool to oprator
WHY
Fig- Hierarchical diagram of relationship between objectives.

EX. HIGH PRESSURE PUMP
Clients Requirements:
1. Rationalize range of pumps to reduce manufacturing costs (Standardization) 2. Improve Reliability 3. Convenient to varied and changing needs of customers
DESIGNERS ELABORATIONS
1. By Reliable & Convenient client means robust (not easily fail)
1. Initial List of Objectives becomes:
1. Reliable 2. Convenient
1. Robust
3. Standardized Range
ELABORATIONS ON INITIAL OBJECTIVES
Investigating problems with existing pumps revealed that thermal expansion of connecting pipes generates thermal stresses that can cause cracking & leakages. Consequently robustness & reliability were requested Investigating convenience objective revealed another two sub-objectives:
Pumps should be easy to install & replace Pumps should occupy the minimum space
EXPANDED LIST OF OBJECTIVES:
1. Reliable Robust Resistant to external mechanical stresses Unaffected by thermal expansion of pipes 2. Convenient Easy to install & replace Occupy minimum space 3. Standardized Range
RELIABLE
ROBUST
CONVENIENT
RESISTANCE TO EXTERNAL MECHANICAL STRESSES
EASY TO HANDLE
OCCUPIES MINIMUM SPACE
UNAFFECTED BY THERMAL EXPANSION
SMALL BASE
