The decision process should lead to the best solution • Proposed design alternatives must comply with all design requirements at this stage • The decision process quantitatively assesses each design alternative with respect to the design goals
The decision process takes the form of a simple matrix that allows one to quantitatively determine the best solution • The rows of the matrix list the design alternatives being evaluated • The columns of the matrix list the criteria by which the design alternatives will be judged (i.e. the design goals) • wt - weighting (1 - 10 ??) indicates the importance of a particular design goal to the product design (the overall satisfaction of the customer with the product) • raw - raw score (1 - 5 ??) basis/reasons for giving a design a particular raw score should be clearly defined (some raw score scale should be developed) • The design chosen is the one which is superior with respect to the design goals
