Rao Technologies a Californiabased hightech manufacturer is

Rao Technologies, a California-based high-tech manufacturer, is considering outsourcing some of its electronics production. Four fims have responded to its request for bids, and CEO Mohan Rao has started to perform an analysis on the scores his OM team has entered in the table below. Click the icon to view the table. Weights are on a scale from 1 through 30, and the outsourcing provider scores are on a scale of 1 through 5. The weight for the labor factor is shown as a w because Rao\'s OM team cannot agree on a value for this weight. In the following table, the weighted score is computed for each candidate. Weighted Score of Selection Criterion ht A 1w 150 15 100 150 15 100 15 Quality Procedures Logistics System 150 10 75 25 25 Trustworthiness Technology in place Management Team 15 15 75 105 390 60 75 Score of last 6 criferia 370 When w = 0, the highest score is achieved by B when w = 10, the highest score is achieved by D When w 20, the highest score is achieved by D when w 30, the highest score is achieved by

Solution

Answer:

Since the Total weigt score is based on the value of 2w for A, 1w for B, 3w for C, and 5w for D.

Rest other parameter\'s score is already given and just need to add to total score with the valueby putting the value of w.  

A B C D

Labor 2w 1w 3w 5w

If we put w=30 as per the question, then this value will become as

A B C D

Labor 2*30 1*30 3*30 5*30

A B C D

Labor 60 30 90 150

When we add this value in the total score of A,B,C and D is as below

A B C D

Total Score 360+60 425+30 370+90 390+150

So the final score will be at w=30 is as below

A B C D

Total Score 420 455 460 540

So when w = 30, the highest score achieved by D is 540

Answer. D - score 540
