Question 1 [10 polnts]: Use Scoring method In quality approach, and determine the best site among the alternatives to build your warehouse. A national discount department chain has penetrated the midwest market and opened several retail stores in the area. It wants to set up a warehouse to serve these stores and has evaluated sx potential sites. The location factors important to the company, their weights, and the score each site receives for each factor are provided in Table 1. Determine which site is to be selected using the scoring method. TABLE 1. Weights and Scores for Sic Sites Number Location Factor Number(Welight) 10.15) 2002 ) 40.251 40 8070 100 30 180 50 50 60 90 90 85 90|60 |75 65 80 30 85 85 Question 2 [25 points]: Considering Question 1, answer the following question. Hint: You will use hybrid analysis for this problem Suppose that there are two critical factors such that any site not satisfying them will not be considered. In addition, there are two objective factorsthe first is revenue based and the second expense based that the discount department chain would like to consider. The relevant data are provided in Table 2. Divide the subjective factor values in Q1 by 100. Assuming the objective factors are worth twice the subjective factors, determine the best location. Is it different from what you got in Question 1? Explain. TABNE 2 Oftical and Objective Factor Ratings for the Six Sites Critical Factor Number Objnctive Factor Number Question 3 125 points]: Using the relationship chart below,

Explanation / Answer

the table above shows the solution for question1

here all the scores are multiplied with their respective scores to find the weighted score for each location and each factor. then the weighted scores for each location are added to find the total score for each location.

score for location 1 factor 1 = 90

weight = 0.15

weighted score = 90*.15 = 13.5

similarly weighted score for site 3 factor2 = 80*0.2 = 16

similarly we calculate all the weighted score. the result is given in table above.

Now, we calculate the total score for each location:

location 1 total score = 13.5 + 8 + 32 + 17.5 = 72

similarly for all other locations

now, comparing the total score we find that site number 6 has highest score of 80.75 hence site 6 to be selected because highest total score.

Site number Location factor no. 1 (0.15) 2 (0.2) 3 (0.4) 4 (0.25) Total 1 13.5 8 32 17.5 72 2 15 6 32 12.5 67.5 3 7.5 16 34 15 75.5 4 9 18 24 18.75 73.75 5 13.5 6 26 20 70.5 6 13.5 6 34 21.25 80.75
