Scoring models
Scoring models emphasise the factors that are important for locations, but which cannoteasily be costedor quantified.
This is the basis of scoring models, which have the following five steps:
•Step 1 decide the relevant factors in a decision
•Step 2 give each factor a maximum possible score that shows its importance
•Step 3 consider each location in turn and give an actual score for each factor, up to this maximum
•Step 4 add the total score for each location and find the highest
•Step 5 discuss the result and make a final decision.
