Project Manager: that um Okay . We just type numbers into this and we come out with the final value . So are we still on for kinetic ?
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Yes .
Project Manager: Okay . See , it woulda been handy to have this at the beginning . Um it might have influenced our choice . Right , what's happening with the electronics ?
Industrial Designer: It was a regular chip on print
User Interface: Chip on print .
Industrial Designer: and Project Manager: Double-curved .
Industrial Designer: Oh , no , no , no , the um Yeah , it's you you've put in three for the number of kinetic cells , there should just be one . In the top , it's the number
Project Manager: Oh , right ,
Industrial Designer: of c yeah .
Project Manager: okay . Thanks .
Industrial Designer: Yeah ,
Project Manager: So , would there be two ?
Industrial Designer: and yeah , just a no , one reg v uh Project Manager: One chip .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , one of them and one sample sensor and sample speaker .
User Interface: Okay .
Project Manager: Okay .
User Interface: Yep .
Industrial Designer: And they're double curved . No .
User Interface: Single-curved .
Project Manager: One double curve .
Industrial Designer: Y Two ,
User Interface: Two curves , yeah .
Industrial Designer: 'cause it's two .
Marketing: But it has a slightly flattened bottom so it can sit . So it can rest .
Project Manager: So what's a single curve then ?
Industrial Designer: Yeah , I'd say I'd say it was w
Marketing: It would just be a flat bottom with one curve . like a domed thing .
Industrial Designer: yeah , I think I think it's User Interface: Single-cu
Project Manager: So just one double Industrial Designer: One double-curved .
Marketing: Mm .
Project Manager: Yeah . Um User Interface: .
Industrial Designer: And one User Interface: Plastic and rubber .
Industrial Designer: no , 'cause one yeah , one's double-curved , and then the other one's
Marketing: The other curves at the sides , but it's slightly flattened at the bottom so it doesn't roll over . Yeah .
Project Manager: Mm . Um we've got plastic and rubber ,
Industrial Designer: a plastic .
Project Manager: haven't we ?
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Plastic one and maybe rubber point five .
Industrial Designer: And special colour .
Project Manager:  .
User Interface: No I think rubber , since it's being used just as a casing ,
Project Manager: Um User Interface: we can put point five .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: Do you think ?
User Interface: Yeah , I think it allows the point five , yeah . We can use that .
Project Manager: Okay .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: What does it mean if you put point five for that ?
User Interface: It means we are not using a lot of rubber actually . We're using just a very low quantity of rubber compared to plastic .
Project Manager: It would be like saying we're using See , it says case material . So
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: we're not actually using plastic in the case , are we ?
Industrial Designer: No , no , that's it's as an extra .
Project Manager: It's including , it's including .
Marketing: Right , okay .
Industrial Designer: So that shouldn't that shouldn't be actually on there , because that's not incorporated in the cost of the remote you get .
Marketing: But it is gonna be part of the total cost , and there's nowhere else we can we can put that in , is there ?
Industrial Designer: Marketing: There's nowhere else we can code for the the rubber used in the casing . So do we not have to account for it in the cost somewhere there ?
Project Manager: Okay , we'll just put it in as we'll put in as half .
Marketing: Okay .
Project Manager: Or sh we should just put it in as one , because the plastic is zero anyway .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , okay .
Marketing: Mm .
Project Manager: No , we don't step on anyone's toes . Okay , special colour , do we need that ?
Marketing: Might do , if we go for some of the more exotic aubergines and such like colours .
Project Manager: N yeah , okay . Interface .
User Interface: Push-button .
Industrial Designer: Yeah ,
User Interface: One .
Industrial Designer: the push-button's one and L_C_ display one .
User Interface: An One .
Project Manager: Buttons Industrial Designer: And buttons Marketing: S
User Interface: I think we could change the battery also . Instead of going for kinetic how about going for a standard battery .
Marketing: Has that not made any d if you click off that square now , has that not made any difference ?
Project Manager: Has that not gone up ?
Industrial Designer: Well yes .
Marketing: Is it oh , it's brought it slightly down .
Project Manager: Oh no , it was seven five it's changed not a lot .
Marketing: So is is uncurved completely and just actually making the rubber case the curved thing ,
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: is that going to make a difference ?
User Interface: Uncurved , flat .
Project Manager: Marketing: Oh , it's not made any difference , has it? .
User Interface: No ,
Industrial Designer: No ,
User Interface: it just surprises one .
Industrial Designer: we'll have Marketing: It's gone up again .
Project Manager: Oh , it's not calculated it .
Industrial Designer: No , no , you've got to click off to calculate it again .
Marketing: Oh .
Project Manager: Okay , there we go .
Marketing: It's brought it down slightly .
Project Manager: It's not a lot though .
User Interface: . I don't think so .
Industrial Designer: C it might uh you might you might be assuming that that is in Euros . It could be in Dollars . And then it would be fine , because the exchange range would make it about twelve .
Project Manager: We haven't been dealin we haven't been dealing with dollars though ,
Marketing: Is there anything on the menu Project Manager: I think Marketing: No .
Industrial Designer: No .
User Interface: Ri I think it's in Euro .
Project Manager: Okay , so the highest we've got is the electronics here . Um and the interface .
Marketing: If we tr um . If we moved away from our much loved idea of a kinetic battery and just went with the standard batteries , would that make a huge difference ?
User Interface: And going to a regular bat Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , the standard , it um it would make one difference . The biggest one would be taking away if you took away User Interface: What I feel is , customers never said anything about the battery .
Industrial Designer: If you to
User Interface: It's internal , nobody looks into the battery .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: But shape and colours , that's something we shouldn't comprimi
Marketing: And people are used to buying batteries ,
Industrial Designer: If if you take away the voice ,
Marketing: they're not gonna say I'm not getting this , 'cause I've got to buy a battery for a remote control .
Industrial Designer: I I do I don't like to say it , but if you take away the voice recognition , then you've got it .
User Interface: Where's that special form ? Mm mm mm .
Marketing: Should we see what difference it makes ?
Project Manager: Where's the
Industrial Designer: Yeah i yeah .
Project Manager: where's the voice recognition ?
Industrial Designer: No 'cause it's samples sens sample speaker .
Marketing: Um Project Manager: Right , okay .
Industrial Designer: If you took away that , that'll make it twelve point three five .
Project Manager: Well the kinetic is three . If we change it to the battery it's that's minus three .
Industrial Designer: They n n yeah , but you p minus three plus two .
Project Manager: Oh , right . I keep seeing zero . Um  We can do it some other way ,
User Interface: Project Manager: we can do it doesn't have to be voice recognition . We could do the voice recognition for , you know , business class or something , you know , like an upgraded version .
Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: You could choose to have that or not .
Marketing: Sure .
Industrial Designer: But they but I mean in I don't see why we have to sell it for twenty five Euros now , because they w they were saying they were quite willing to pay more for better product .
Marketing: But we're still working to um head o
Project Manager: So should we just change the design specification then ? User Interface: Make it costly .
Marketing: We can put in our recommendations . If we if we're working to head office specifications as this is what this project team's working for , we can put in our recommendations for what we've we've found and what we the consensus that we've come to as a result of the meetings .
Project Manager: Yes .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: We c we could s
Marketing: But we need to work to that specification to start with .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , we could say Marketing: And I think the voice recognition sounds wonderful , but our object is so distinctive that that in itself is gonna make it easier to locate as a f you know in a first instance . Um as you say , we can offer the voice recognition initially to business class customers
Project Manager: Okay , we can make the price fit ,
Industrial Designer: Yeah , I s
Project Manager: and then say if we'd had our budget , we would've had this ,
Industrial Designer: And then say we recommend Marketing: Mm .
Project Manager: because it also sets it apart from the crowd .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah . 'Cause we've done all the background work to go for that if they want it .
Project Manager: They like their gadgets , they like something that's completely different .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: It's s something completely different associated with your company .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: Right , okay , so Marketing: So if we take voice recognition out Industrial Designer: That'll do it . Twelve point three five .
User Interface: Yeah we are close to the budget .
Marketing: we are .
Industrial Designer: Is it twelve point fif was it twelve point fifty ?
User Interface: Two five .
Project Manager: It's two point five . No , it's twelve point two five .
Marketing: Are you sure ? Sorry , not meaning to doubt your words there .
Project Manager: Yeah well two , twelve point two five times two is twenty five ,
Marketing: Right . Are they really going to quibble about ten P_ ? Or point zero one of a Euro ?
User Interface: It's twelve point five maybe , then .
Project Manager: isn't it ?
Marketing: Which is less than ten P_ .
User Interface: I don't know what it said fifty percent of the cost . So half of the price would be Project Manager: I think the agenda one was where the um price was , wasn't it ? No .
User Interface: I think it is the first one .
Marketing: That's today's kick off meeting , .
Project Manager: Twelve point five .
Marketing: Mm . I thought that's what it was .
User Interface: So we are under the budget .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: Ah .
Project Manager: Well done , people .
Marketing: So we're okay .
Project Manager: So
Industrial Designer: Okay .

Summary: The team calculated the cost of the remote control in the Euro. The team included one regular chip, one kinetic cell, one double-curved bottom, one push button, one LCD screen, as well as rubber and plastic materials. The team decided to recommend voice recognition to business customers. Once the budget increased, voice recognition would be incorporated. Overall, the present cost was 12.5 Euros and was under the budget.
