    This document describes using the Pugh method to evaluate 5 alternatives for a design problem based on 4 weighted criteria. The criteria scores for each alternative were entered into a table and normalized by subtracting the row average from each value and dividing by the row average. This generated a new table with ratios that were multiplied by the criteria weights. The sum of each alternative's columns was calculated, with the highest score indicating the preferred alternative. Alternative 1 had the highest column sum of 1.637, so it is the design that would be preferred according to the Pugh method.

    Problem on Pugh Method

    Sum of Row
    Criterion Weight Alt 1 Alt 2 Alt 3 Alt 4 Alt 5
    Row average
    Plunger Pressure
    8 3005 2640 1819 2487 1745 11696 2339.2
    (kg/cm2)

    Pass over (cm) 7 2228 2380 1971 2574 2500 11653 2330.6

    CG height (cm) 7 34.05 35.25 34.84 34.83 34.38 173.35 34.67


    Back Impact
    8 589 622 685 568 559 3023 604.6
    (kg/cm2)

    Refilling the table with ratios:


    New Cell Value = Weight x (Current Cell value- Row average)/ Row average
    e.g [Plunger Pressure , Alt 1] = [Plunger Pressure, Weight] x [(Plunger Pressure,
    Alt 1) – (Plunger Pressure, Row Avg.)]/ [Plunger Pressure, Row Avg.]
    2.277 = 8 x (3005- 2339.2)/2339.2
    Repeat this for all the cells of the table Calculate the sum of columns of every
    alternate and select the one with maximum value.
    Criterion Weight Alt 1 Alt 2 Alt 3 Alt 4 Alt 5
    Plunger Pressure (kg/cm2) 8 2.277 1.028 -1.779 0.505 -2.032
    Pass over (cm) 7 -0.308 0.148 -1.080 0.731 0.509
    CG height (cm) 7 -0.125 0.117 0.034 0.032 -0.059
    Back Impact (kg/cm2) 8 -0.206 0.230 1.063 -0.484 -0.603
    Sum of Columns 1.637 1.524 -1.760 0.784 -2.185

    Select the alternate with highest value.


    Here, Alternate 1 is maximum. So, this method will be preferred.
