It refers to a matrix that helps determine which items or potential solutions are more important or 'better' than others. It is necessarily to be done after you capture VOC and before design which means after product planning QFD.
It is a scoring matrix used for concept selection, in which options are assigned scores relative to criteria. The selection is made based on the consolidated scores. Before you start your detailed design you must have many options so that you choose the best out of them.
This tool is also known as 'Criteria Based Matrix'
The Pugh matrix is a tool used to facilitate a disciplined, team-based process for concept generation and selection . Several concepts are evaluated according to their strengths and weaknesses against a reference concept called the datum (base concept). The datum is the best current concept at each iteration of the matrix.
The Pugh matrix allows you to
1. Compare different concepts
2. Create strong alternative concepts from weaker concepts
3. Arrive at an optimum concept that may be a hybrid or variant of the best of other concepts
The Pugh matrix encourages comparison of several different concepts against a base concept,creating stronger concepts and eliminating weaker ones until an optimal concept finally is reached. Also, the Pugh matrix is useful because it does not require a great amount of quantitative data on the design concepts, which generally is not available at this point in the process.
but you knew that I'm sure.

my dahling little knowledge sponge is that all this is pretentious bollocks designed so that people can talk about pretentious bollocks and charge other arseholes money to hear things they already knew. They only had no idea they already knew them because of the new manner and ostentatious vocabulary in which the ideas are presented to them. With finger buffet.
I don't need the Pugh matrix to evaluate concepts, to compare and select solutions.
I'm the fucking boss and in my old fashioned world that's my fucking job.
'ning gorgeous. ;)

akin to the art of a con artist but if you can make it work and live with yourself you will get a baby Bentley some 10 years sooner than I did.

I admire your scruples. Me? I'd just follow the money whilst wallowing in a mire of self loathing ( and whores and champagne )

I wish I could sympathise with you but I still have the horn over spending nearly 3 grand on new tools ( for me, not the muppetforce ) in the last 2 days.
I'm gonna get off my tits later and sit in the dark with my new 360 rotary laser level :)

I could have been a top manager in the automotive. Instead I decided for a PhD in human evolutionary molecular biology.
Money, everyone can get it. What I do and know, a dozen people at most.

and yes, new words and descriptions of a "new" thing that people have been doing in their "area" since forever are a complete pile of shit
I bet you had fun with these folks :)
