Team Members

    Our team consists of 6 members each tasked with different jobs to fulfill for the completion of the Ergonomic Brassiere. The work distribution and leadership roles are assigned based upon the strengths and weaknesses of each team member. The goal was to have team personnel perform tasks in areas where they ten to excel in order for the best product to be delivered.

Stakeholders

    This project revolves around the Project Sponsor, Dr. Okenwa Okoli (seen above), who conceptualized the idea of an ergonomic brassiere that has various improvements from the current brassieres being worn by women today. Aside from Dr. Okoli, there are six major stakeholders who will influence the success of our project moving forward. These stakeholders are Margaret Scheiner, G. Ryan Adams, Mr. John Taylor, Dr. Eundeok Kim, Dr. Jessica Ridgeway, and Morgan Lampley. Both Margaret Scheiner and G. Ryan Adams are PhD students who also serve as our Senior Design TAs. They will be facilitating the requirements of our group as the project moves along, as well as offering advice and counseling whenever possible. Mr. John Taylor is the Industrial Engineering Advisor and teaches an Ergonomics class, so he is well suited to provide insight and advice about an ergonomic brassiere design during the course of our project development. Dr. Eundeok Kim and Dr. Jessica Ridgeway are both representatives from the FSU Fashion School who will be assisting us in our Measure Phase as well as our end goal of delivering a marketable product design. Morgan Lampley is the Team Representative from last year’s Ergonomic Brassiere Senior Design project. She has been instrumental in helping us define the scope of our project, as well as someone who can shed light on how we should be moving forward with our project.
