Venus Explorer MissionDecision Analysis Spring 2014 Innovative System Project for the Increased Recruitment of Emerging STEM Students
Outline • Instructions • FOMs Defined • Decision Analysis Table
Instructions • Watch the Decision Analysis Video • Go through the Buying a Car example • Take note of the 7 FOMs we give for your payloads • Review the FOM definitions on the following pages • Create (at least) 3 more FOMs for your payload • Weight all 10 FOMs • Score your design alternatives against the 10 FOMs • Present the single decision analysis chart (last page in this presentation) to Matt and P.J.
FOMs • Refer to InSPIRESS notebook (starts on page 47) • FOM = Figure of Merit • FOM Weights = 1, 3, or 9 • 9 = most important, 1 = least important • Design Scores = 1, 3, or 9 • 9 = highest rating, 1 = lowest rating • Multiply FOM by the Score • Total score for a design is the sum of all the FOMxScore values
FOMs Defined • Science Objective • How well does the design alternative answer the science objective? • Likelihood of Achieving the Project Requirements • What is the probability that the design alternative will stay within the project requirements (mass, volume, etc)? • Science Mass Ratio • Which design allocates the most mass toward science? • Design Complexity • Which design has the most parts (layers, ports, etc)?
FOMs Defined (cont) • ConOps Complexity • Which design’s ConOps requires the most steps to achieve the science objective? • Overall Likelihood of Mission Success • Which design has the higher(est) probability of success? • Manufacturability • Which design is easier to build? Now come up with at least 3 of your own FOMs!
