Question

A company using a weighted-criteria
evaluation system has established these 3 categories for supplier evaluation
and the appropriate weight are in parentheses: Quality(0.50), Technology(0.20),
Cost(0.30).
The scores for each category for Company A
are: Quality(90), Technology(75), Cost(60)
The scores for each category for Company B
are: Quality(80), Technology(95), Cost(90)
The scores for each category for Company C
are: Quality(90), Technology(80), Cost(95)
Calculate the weight score for each
supplier? Which supplier would you consider your top supplier? Based on our
discussion in class, what category would you place the suppliers? (Show your work.)
