Trade Study Framework

Trade Study Types

| Type | Application | Complexity |

|------|-------------|------------|

| Screening | Eliminate non-viable options | Low |

| Pugh matrix | Comparative evaluation | Medium |

| Weighted scoring | Quantitative ranking | Medium |

| Multi-attribute utility | Complex decisions | High |

| Optimization | Parameter selection | High |

Process Overview

1. Define objectives and scope
2. Establish evaluation criteria
3. Generate alternatives
4. Collect data for each alternative
5. Score alternatives against criteria
6. Analyze results and sensitivity
7. Make recommendation
8. Document decision

Criteria Development

Criteria Categories

| Category | Example Criteria |

|----------|------------------|

| Performance | Power output, efficiency, accuracy |

| Physical | Size, weight, volume |

| Cost | Development cost, unit cost, life cycle cost |

| Schedule | Development time, lead time |

| Risk | Technical risk, schedule risk, cost risk |

| Manufacturability | Complexity, process capability |

| Reliability | MTBF, failure modes, redundancy |

| Maintainability | Access, service intervals, spares |

Criteria Weighting

Methods for weight assignment:

1. Direct assignment
   - Assign percentages directly
   - Total must equal 100%

2. Pairwise comparison
   - Compare each pair of criteria
   - Calculate weights from preferences

3. Swing weighting
   - Consider range of performance
   - Assign weights based on swing importance

4. AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process)
   - Structured pairwise comparison
   - Consistency check included

Concept Generation

Brainstorming Guidelines

1. Define the function to be achieved
2. Generate alternatives without judgment
3. Consider:
   - Prior art and benchmarks
   - Different technologies
   - Component variations
   - Configuration options
4. Combine and refine ideas
5. Screen for feasibility

Concept Representation

| Method | Detail Level | Use |

|--------|--------------|-----|

| Sketch | Low | Initial brainstorm |

| Block diagram | Low-Medium | Functional layout |

| Layout drawing | Medium | Spatial arrangement |

| CAD model | High | Detailed evaluation |

Pugh Matrix Method

Matrix Setup

Pugh Matrix:
- Rows: Evaluation criteria
- Columns: Concept alternatives
- Datum: Baseline or best-known solution
- Scoring: + (better), - (worse), S (same)

| Criteria | Weight | Datum | Alt-A | Alt-B | Alt-C |
|----------|--------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| Crit 1   | 0.30   | 0     | +     | -     | S     |
| Crit 2   | 0.25   | 0     | S     | +     | +     |
| Crit 3   | 0.20   | 0     | -     | +     | +     |
| Crit 4   | 0.15   | 0     | +     | S     | -     |
| Crit 5   | 0.10   | 0     | S     | +     | S     |

Results Analysis

Calculate for each alternative:
- Sum of positives
- Sum of negatives
- Weighted sum of positives
- Weighted sum of negatives
- Net score

Use results to:
- Eliminate weak concepts
- Identify best features
- Create hybrid concepts
- Iterate evaluation

Weighted Scoring Method

Scoring Scale

Example 5-point scale:
5 = Excellent, exceeds requirements significantly
4 = Good, exceeds requirements
3 = Acceptable, meets requirements
2 = Marginal, partially meets requirements
1 = Poor, does not meet requirements
0 = Unacceptable, disqualifying

Or numerical scale tied to requirements:
Score = (Performance - Threshold) / (Goal - Threshold)

Weighted Score Calculation

Total Score = Sum(Weight_i x Score_i)

Example:
| Criteria | Weight | Alt-A Score | Alt-A Weighted |
|----------|--------|-------------|----------------|
| Crit 1   | 0.30   | 4           | 1.20           |
| Crit 2   | 0.25   | 3           | 0.75           |
| Crit 3   | 0.20   | 5           | 1.00           |
| Crit 4   | 0.15   | 3           | 0.45           |
| Crit 5   | 0.10   | 4           | 0.40           |
| Total    | 1.00   |             | 3.80           |

Sensitivity Analysis

Analysis Methods

1. Weight sensitivity
   - Vary weights +/- 10-20%
   - Identify crossover points
   - Determine robust winner

2. Score sensitivity
   - Vary scores +/- 1 point
   - Consider uncertainty in data
   - Identify close decisions

3. Tornado diagram
   - Show impact of each factor
   - Prioritize data improvement
