Trade-off Curves
Describe the limits of performance that are possible with a givendesign approach in a simple visual form. They typically characterize the relationship between two or more key parameters that relate design decision(s) to factor(s) that customers care about over a range of values, for example, diameter and wall thickness of pipe (design decisions) to fluid pressure and velocity (customer requirements).

Trade-off curve sheets should include a picture of the part and/or process; a statement of the failure mode being considered; an analysis of the cause; possible countermeasures; a graph showing the conditions under which the failure mode occurs and the relationships between the key parameters . Design groups then create engineering check sheets that summarize the key points from the trade-off curve studies into a compact and efficient form for use in design reviews.
