Screening Model. Assume that the following criteria relevant to the process of screening various project opportunities are weighted in importance as follows:

• Quality (5)

• Cost (3)

• Speed to Market (7)

• Visibility (5)

• Reliability (1)

Our company has four project alternatives that satisfy these key feature as follows:

Alpha Bete Gamma Delta

Quality 1 3 3 5

Cost 7 7 5 3

Speed 5 5 3 5

Visibility 3 1 5 1

Reliability 5 5 7 7

Construct a project screening matrix to identify among these four projects the most likely candidates to be implemented.

Project Alpha 81

Project Beta 81

Project Gamma 83

Project Delta 81

Among the four projects the most likely candidates to be implemented will

be Project Gamma.

Explanation:

Screening Model

1. Calculation for Project Alpha

Important Weight*Weight Score = Weighted Score

Quality 5 * 1 = 5

Cost 3 * 7 = 21

Speed 7 * 5 = 35

Visibility 5 * 3 = 15

Reliability 1 * 5 = 5

Total Score = 81

2. Important Weight * Weight Score = Weighted Score

Calculation for Project Beta

Quality 5 * 3 = 15

Cost 3 * 7 = 21

Speed 7 * 5 = 35

Visibility 5*1 = 5

Reliability 1 * 5 = 5

Total Score = 81

3. Important Weight * Weight Score = Weighted Score

Calculation for Project Gamma

Quality 5 * 3 = 15

Cost 3 * 5 = 15

Speed 7 * 3 = 21

Visibility 5*5 = 25

Reliability 1*7 = 7

Total Score=83

4. Important Weight * Weight Score = Weighted Score

Calculation for project Delta

Quality 5 * 5 = 25

Cost 3 * 3 = 9

Speed 7 * 5 = 35

Visibility 5*1 = 5

Reliability 1 * 7 = 7

Total Score = 81

Therefore among the four projects the most likely candidates to be implemented will

be Project Gamma because it has the highest

score with a score of 83.
