Flynn Industries has outsourced the delivery of its products and now wants to develop a tool to help evaluate its transportation carriers. The following table shows the rating values associated with different levels of price, quality, and delivery performance, as well as criteria weights that reflect the relative importance of these dimensions. To illustrate how the ratings work, suppose a carrier has a damage level of 0.82%. This would fall between 0.75% and 1.0%, thereby garnering a rating of 2. The second table shows actual average performance levels for three carriers. Click the icon to view the rating values table. Click the icon to view the performance levels table. a. The weighted performance score for Carrier A is The weighted performance score for Carrier B is The weighted performance score for Carrier C is Carrier (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.) (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.) . (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.) is the best according to the weighted-point evaluation system. b. Recalculate the weighted performance scores for the three carriers if the weights for price, quality, and delivery shifted to 0.4, 0.4, and 0.2, respectively (enter your responses rounded to one decimal place). Carrier A Carrier B Carrier C Carrier is the best according to the weighted-point evaluation system. Score c. Based on the inital results in part a., should Flynn Industries single source or not? A. If Carrier A has the capacity to handle all of Flynn's business, then Flynn might consider single-sourcing with carrier A and try to work out a better price. B. If Carrier B has the capacity to handle all of Flynn's business, then Flynn might consider single-sourcing with carrier B and try to work out a better price. C. Carriers A and B have almost the same performance, so Flynn should work with them without singling out one source. D. If Carrier C has the capacity to handle all of Flynn's business, then Flynn might consider single-sourcing with carrier C and try to work out a better price.
