As illustrated in Exhibit 3.5, multiplying each performance score by the corresponding
attribute’s importance weight results in a weighted average that can be totaled to
calculate an overall rating for each product. The product or supplier having the highest
comparative rating is typically the product selected for purchase. In this example,
AdCo has the highest overall evaluation totaling 468 points compared with BondIt’s
430 points and StikFast’s 446 points.
