Abstract
IKEA is a Swedish corporation that manufactures and distributes ready-to-assemble furniture, kitchen appliances, and home furnishings, as well as other goods and services. IKEA also owns the IKEA Restaurant, which is located in the store and serves good and diverse meals to customers. It is similar to a one-stop shop where customers may browse for IKEA products while also enjoying delectable and attractively cooked cuisine available at the restaurants. In this study, I was given the opportunity to conduct research on a firm that created the same product that I wanted to design. Despite the fact that this company offers a wide range of products, I'd want to focus on their dish drying rack. The product that I want to create is a 2 in 1 Smart Dish Rack, which is a dish drying rack as well as a dish organizer rack.
Aside from that, I conducted an analysis of IKEA Dish Drainer to discover its strengths, weaknesses, possibilities, and threats. The dish drying rack has four flaws, according to a SWOT analysis. These flaws inspire me to devise an innovative solution to the problem. I proposed transforming a standard dish drying rack into a 2 in 1 Smart Dish Rack, which is a combination of a dish drying rack and a dish organizer rack. This dish drying rack idea was presented to answer an issue that has arisen. As the dishes were heaped on the rack, it took some time for them to dry. Second, the dish drying rack is constructed of plastic, which is bad for the environment. Third, the dishes were exposed to dust and insects due to the uncovered dish drying rack. Finally, the dish drying rack has a limited capacity for cookware. This could be a problem, especially if you have a large family who cooks in huge portions and then needs additional place to store their cookware after cleanup. If this idea succeeds, it will be a fantastic product in the future.
