2. Design Activities Presented with a problem statement of creating a more sustainable toothbrush for Oral B customers Evaluated toothbrush and its qualities (aesthetics, power, design) Dissected toothbrush to determine parts and evaluate how the brush worked Created a customer needs assessment to reach goal of creating a more sustainable toothbrush that pleased the buyers Created an AHP chart based on the customer assessment Concept generation for Brush Head Design, Energy Mechanisms, Power Generation, Body Design Created a morph chart with ideas that were generated Generated Pugh charts based on morph charts Determined a final concept based on the rankings from the Pugh Charts
