L = Linear Satisfiers
(The more the merrier.) N = Neutral/Indifferent (No big deal.) M = Must Haves (I wont buy without!) D = Delighters (What an unexpected treat!)
Requirement Fulfilled

Concept Selection
How can the team choose the best concept (even though the designs are still being developed)? How can a decision be made that is embraced by the entire team? How can the good attributes of weak concepts be identified and used? How can the decision process be systematic?
Selecting Concepts
first concept considered; external decision; product champion; intuition; voting; pros & cons; prototype & test; decision matrices objectivity in decisions a customer-focused product a competitive design reduced time to product introduction effective group decision making and coordination documentation of process
Prepare the selection criteria and create the selection matrix Rate the concepts Rank the concepts Combine and improve the concepts Select one or more concepts
basic theory assumes selection criteria are independent and thus does not directly capture non-linear relationships between criterion some criteria (eg, aesthetics) are highly subjective; the teams judgments on these dimensions should be supplemented with the opinions of representative consumers from the target market (perhaps using prototypes, mock ups) the team should make notes of any outstanding (+ or -) attributes, as well as identify any features that might be used to improve the concept
Subjective Criteria
Step 1
What are possible criteria for evaluating your automotive dining concepts?
Ability to meet each interpreted need Manufacturing costs Market need, growth, size Compatibility with firms other products/culture Compatibility with firms current technology Market competitiveness (cost to maintain position)
Step 2
much worse than reference = 1 worse than reference = 2 same as reference = 3 better than reference = 4 much better than reference = 5
Step 3
Use criteria weights (if multiple segments) Total score for each concept
Next Steps
4. Combine and Improve the Concepts 5. Select One (or More) Concepts 6. Move on to Concept Testing (Next Week)
