Graduate Apprenticeship - Engineering Design and Manufacture Class: EO403 - Design for X Selection Evaluation Methods - Pros Cons In this video, we're going to look at the very popular pros and cons selection and evaluation method often used in industry to solve problems. So pros and cons usually consist of a list. It is a list which allows quick and easy decision-making. The pros are arguments for a particular solution or concept, and the cons are arguments against taking it in a particular direction. Using a pros and cons list can help us get a more sensible, informed decision, detailing both sides of the argument, looking at the positive and the negatives, looking at the good aspects, looking at the bad aspects of particular products, looking at how they function, do they function well, do they have faults, and so on. Decisions can be approached objectively without letting the gut feeling impact influence choice. So we're actually taking time to analyse and to look at the positives and the negatives. This method is particularly useful in a group when teams have to make a decision on the viability of a particular product. All the pros and the cons can be listed, and we're not basing anything on one point of view or one idea. I am sure you will have used this particular method, pros and cons, when you have had to select and evaluate any problem or concept development previously. Page 1/1
