Question

Screening Model. Assume that the following criteria relevant to the process of screening various project opportunities are weighted in importance as follows:
• Quality (5)
• Cost (3)
• Speed to Market (7)
• Visibility (5)
• Reliability (1)
Our company has four project alternatives that satisfy these key feature as follows:
Alpha Bete Gamma Delta
Quality 1 3 3 5
Cost 7 7 5 3
Speed 5 5 3 5
Visibility 3 1 5 1
Reliability 5 5 7 7
Construct a project screening matrix to identify among these four projects the most likely candidates to be implemented.

Answer 1

Answer:

Project Alpha 81

Project Beta 81

Project Gamma 83

Project Delta 81

Among the four projects the most likely candidates to be implemented will

be Project Gamma .

Explanation:

Screening Model

1.Calculation for Project Alpha

Important Weight×Weight Score = Weighted Score

Quality 5 × 1 =5

Cost 3 ×7 =21

Speed 7 ×5 =35

Visibility 5 ×3= 15

Reliability 1× 5 =5

Total Score =81

2.Important Weight ×Weight Score = Weighted Score

Calculation for Project Beta

Quality 5 × 3 =15

Cost 3 ×7 =21

Speed 7× 5 =35

Visibility 5×1 =5

Reliability 1 ×5 =5

Total Score =81

3.Important Weight ×Weight Score = Weighted Score

Calculation for Project Gamma

Quality 5 ×3 =15

Cost 3 ×5 =15

Speed 7× 3= 21

Visibility 5×5 =25

Reliability 1×7 =7

Total Score=83

4.Important Weight ×Weight Score = Weighted Score

Calculation for project Delta

Quality 5 ×5 =25

Cost 3 ×3 =9

Speed 7× 5 =35

Visibility 5×1 =5

Reliability 1 ×7 =7

Total Score =81

Therefore among the four projects the most likely candidates to be implemented will

be Project Gamma because it has the highest

score with a score of 83.
