Description
- Review the following problem by discussing the process and the tool you will use to complete the analysis. Work through the scenario provided below to determine a solution.
- Discuss the four criteria that should be considered when selecting a solution: risk, economy, timing, and resources. How might they apply to your solution?
Using a multi-voting process tool, address the following problem:
Ten projects are being considered by the QM team. Based on team member preferences (below), if a single vote is held, Project D will be selected. The chair wants to consider team member preferences beyond simply their first choices. Use a multi-voting process and assign three points to each member’s first choice, two points to the second, and one point to the third. After the first vote, options that receive fewer than three points should be eliminated and the remaining options re-voted. In subsequent rounds, two points will be given to the first choice and one point to the second. Continue to eliminate low vote-tallying options until all but two options have been eliminated. On the final vote, each team member will get a single vote worth one point. Which option will be selected?

(Jankowski, 602)Multi-voting process tool helps teams narrow down options to a
manageable number. The process and tool apply to our scenario given the teams have to decide
items of preference, meaning some possibilities will be prioritized. Secondly, our team is made
up of 5 members who each have several options to go with as possible outcomes.
Furthermore, the team needs to brainstorm on those projects to pick, but the best way to
do so remains multi-voting to get the finest of the options to aid in making decisions. Our team
consists of five members and the number of projects to choose from ads up to ten. The multivoting process and tool ensure each project is subjected to a ballot for a more informed and
inclusive decision to be made.
Below is a multi-voting process tool that has been completed to decide on the project to
work on as chosen by the five group members

As you begin thinking about this project, consider using tables (such as those below) to
help you work through the problem. I am a visual learner so some of the HINTS provided
are one’s I use to keep me on track.
FOR THE 1ST VOTE assign 3 points to each member’s 1st choice (see 1st Vote column); 2 points to the
second, and 1 point to the 3rd choice.

After totaling, 1) eliminate all Options with
totals of less than 3, then 2) carry forward
only those options that remain to the Round 2

Hint: consider “Xing” out all of the Options you
eliminated on the Table above. This will
provide you a better visual of what remains to
be use...
