Instructions for Using Pugh Matrix Template

1. Enter the Project Title, Date of Analysis, and Analyst's Name at the top of the Matrix.

2. Enter the Key Criteria for which the Design Concepts will be compared.

3. Enter the Importance Rating for each of the Key Criteria. Use any scale that you wish.

4. The Blue Column (Column D) is for the Baseline (Current) Design Concept.

5. Enter the Design Concept Names across Row 10.

6. Rate the Design Concepts against the Baseline for each of the Key Criteria using the following scale:

1 Concept is Better Than the Baseline Concept

0 Concept is the Same as the Baseline Concept

-1 Concept is Worse Than the Baseline Concept

7. The Sums will automatically total for you at the top of the matrix.
