In the search for more environmentally friendly design, paper
cups have replaced Styrofoam cups in most fast-food restaurants.
These cups are less effective insulators, and the paper cups often
get too hot for the hand. A design team is in search of a better
disposable coffee cup. The designs to be evaluated are: (a) a
standard Styrofoam cup, (b) a rigid injection-molded cup with a
handle, (c) a paper cup with a cardboard sleeve, (d) a paper cup
with a pull-out handle, and (e) a paper cup with a cellular wall.
These design concepts are to be evaluated with the Styrofoam cup as
the datum.
The engineering characteristics on which the cups are evaluated
are:
Using your knowledge of fast-food coffee cups, use the Pugh
concept selection method to select the most promising design.
