Final Thoughts
The following stakeholders are interested in the success
of this project.
❖ Team Members
❖ Dr. Colledge
❖ Consumers
❖ Users
❖ Waste Management
❖ Suppliers
The stakeholders want the following: (in order of importance)
❖ Price
❖ Quantity
❖ Durability
❖ Safety
❖ Aesthetics
❖ Can it do anything else?
The final step was determining what exactly this
product had to be able to do.
❖ Maximum weight (200 lbs)
❖ Stay afloat for the length of a pool
❖ Stable enough to support someone’s wight
❖ Portable
❖ Durable
❖ Fun for the user
We had several ideas about what our design should
have looked like.

Chart 2: Weighted Martix
Based on our criteria, there was a clear winner for our
design.

Ranked with a plus five on non weighted matrix
For our calculations, we took several approaches in
order to determine what would actually float.
