Bicycle Motor Works is need of a Frame-Mounting System that can be universally used with their entire E-Bike Battery product line. The requirements are as follows. 1. Durable, Strong, made of material that can withstand weather and vibration. 2. Frame mounted, universally adjustable for a wide variety of bike frames. 3. Dependably accessible and can be preordered or drop-shipped by seller within a few business days. 4. Does not increase production time, preferably decreases production time. 5. Cost-effective, at best; the solution is a reasonable short-term expense. 6. The solution does not jeopardize the integrity of the battery pack product line. Overview of generalized tasks are as follows. Possible solutions to fulfill the need of a Frame-Mounting System could be securing an existing frame-mounting vendor able to work with Bicycle Motor Works, improving the structure of current battery pack shell to adapt to a vendor providing mounting systems, or develop a cost-effective stand-alone structure that meets the highest standards. Tasks include the following. 1. Analysis of Bicycle Motor Works product line, design and production process. 2. Research on current frame-mounting vendors, material suppliers and manufacturing companies. 3. Report the top solutions that meet all requirements, which include alternative solutions developed by the team and not mentioned. 4. Verify the most structurally-sound, cost effective and timely product solution.
