Test 3- part 2 XYZ Company wants to evaluate its suppliers. XYZ decided to use the following three selection criteria: product quality, product price, and terms of delivery (A, B, and C respectively). To determine the weight of each criterion, the manager of the purchasing office adopted the standard scale of values shown in Table 2. to come up with the pairwise comparison matrix presented in Table 1. Table 1: pairwise comparison matrix following the standard shown in Table 2 A 1.00 Criteria A B C 1/3 1/7 Table 2: Standard scale of values associated with a comparison Between criteria k and j Comparison judgement between criteria k and j k and j are equally important k is moderately preferable to j k is quite preferable to j k is decidedly preferable to j k is extremely preferable to j Supplier Sup. 1 Sup. 2 j is moderately preferable to k j is quite preferable to k j is decidedly preferable to k j is extremely preferable to k B 3.00 1.00 1/5 A 9 8 C 7.00 5.00 1.00 a.
