A specification is constructed from a metric and a
Total value 100 99.996 1051.571 1053.775 31.886 0 value , which correspond to a specific function

of the product. A function can have one or more
metrics and values. The final list of specification
objectives in relation to the TFA results is given

The analysis of alternative designs was
undertaken using TFA instruments to select the best

criteria and their weights were set by the TFA
team. As shown in Table 6, Candidate 5 obtained
