Abstract

The study aimed at providing insight of technological development in the design of shredding machine for cassava. Cassava processing has been localized and mechanized. But one form of cassava processing, cassava shredding, has not received appropriate technological attention, hence, has been operated manually. The methodology applied was a survey research, involving in-depth , semi structured interview of key components the value chain on four domains: knowledge, problem solving quality output and job attitude, including 42 desired and distractive factors of stakeholders perceived by requirement engineering and 38 desired and distractive factors of requirement engineering perceived by stakeholders. The responses were coded and analyzed by software. The result through effective interaction indices indicated low perception of requirement engineering on stakeholders, especially production engineers and design engineers on development of cassava shredding machine. Lack of technical knowledge has hampered problem solving, in developing mechanism that shred cassava, to produce quality shreds, with throughput efficiency. Keywords: Requirement Engineering, Cassava, Machine, Shredding, Indigenous Designs
