Answer:

pugh chart

Step-by-step explanation:

system analysis- The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines system analysis as "the process of studying a procedure or business in order to identify its goals and purposes and create systems and procedures that will achieve them in an efficient way".

Pugh chart- A Pugh chart is a quantitative technique used to rank the multi-dimensional options of an option set. And most importantly, it is not weighted to allow a quick selection process. It is named after Stuart Pugh who was a professor and head of the design division at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.

Rise-benefit analysis- A cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is the process used to measure the benefits of a decision or taking action minus the costs associated with taking that action. A CBA involves measurable financial metrics such as revenue earned or costs saved as a result of the decision to pursue a project.

life cycle analysis- Life cycle analysis (LCA) is a method used to evaluate the environmental impact of a product through its life cycle encompassing extraction and processing of the raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, use, recycling, and final disposal.
