TORPPARIN LIHA
TEAM WORK | SCHOOL PROJECT | 2020
Reliable equipment for military and government use
Background
Our task was to investigate and observe how could we develop Torpparin Liha company. It is a slaughterhouse located in Punkalaidun in Finland that focuses on ethical and high- quality meat. The company takes care of everything from slaughtering, cutting, chopping and packing the meat. The focus is on slaughtering sheep and cattle.
We went to observe Torpparin Liha on the spot. Evaluated different problems and needs what we discovered and mapped then into four sections.
Co-designing
We did a co-design project together with Asko Männistö, the owner of Torppari Liha, and one of the main restaurant customers’ owner. We discussed and went through the different stages of the ordering process that we then wrote down on the timeline we developed.

Sketching
Final prototype
The searching method is visualized, so it is quicker to catch what meet pieces the orderer is searching for. Every meet piece has their own card, which tells all the details of it
For restaurants, the website facilitates to get the information what is available at the moment. On the contrary, it also informs the owner what’s left in the stock.
It is also possible to see what sort of cattle is living in the field at the moment and when will it be ready for slaughter.
