Group Discussion: Multi-voting Process Tool
This is a group activity. For more information on groups, see About Group Work.Review the following problem by discussing the process and the tool you will use to complete the analysis. Work through the scenario provided below to determine a solution.
Discuss the four criteria that should be considered when selecting a solution: risk, economy, timing, and resources. How might they apply to your solution?
Using a multi-voting process tool, address the following problem:
Ten projects are being considered by the QM team. Based on team member preferences (below), if a single vote is held, Project D will be selected. The chair wants to consider team member preferences beyond simply their first choices. Use a multi-voting process and assign three points to each member’s first choice, two points to the second, and one point to the third. After the first vote, options that receive fewer than three points should be eliminated and the remaining options re-voted. In subsequent rounds, two points will be given to the first choice and one point to the second. Continue to eliminate low vote-tallying options until all but two options have been eliminated. On the final vote, each team member will get a single vote worth one point. Which option will be selected?
