Question

An operations manager is performing a factor-rating analysis to help her choose an outsourcing provider. She is focusing on three factors: A, B, and C, with weights of .50, .20, and .30, respectively. She has scored one potential outsourcer, Ling Services, on each of the factors using a scale of 10-50. Ling Services received a score of 30 for factor A, 46 for factor B, and 22 for factor C. What is the factor-rating score for Ling Services

Answer 1

30.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution of factor-rating score for Ling Services is provided below:-

Factor-rating score = (Weight for Factor A × Rating for Factor A) + (Weight for Factor B × Rating for Factor B) + (Weight for Factor C × Rating for Factor C)

= (0.50 × 30) + (0.20 × 46) + (0.30 × 22)

= 15 + 9.2 + 6.6

= 30.8

So, we have calculated the factor-rating score for Ling Services by using the above formula.
