Question: You and your engineering team are responsible for designing a new sewage treatment plant for the city of Terre Haute. The following twelve objectives
You and your engineering team are responsible for designing a new sewage treatment plant for the city of Terre Haute. The following twelve objectives have been established for consideration when designing the new treatment plant: architectural appearance (k-0.10), design/planning fees (k-0.20), environmental impact (k-0.20), construction cost (k-0.40), discharge water quality (k-0.40), public opinion (k-0.50), discharge location (k-0.50), government bylaws (k-0.40), noise/smell (k-0.20), operating costs (k-0.40), distance to sewage sources (k-0.50), and power requirements (k-0.20). Make the criteria tree and then use its w to calculate the relative weighting factors for each attribute and enter them in the following table. Then, calculate the total weighted value for each concept design (A. B. and C) and circle the best concept design. Design Concept A Design Objective Relative Numeric Weighted Value Score Weight (W) architectural appearance design planning fees environmental impact construction cost discharge water quality public opinion discharge location government bylaws noise smell operating costs distance to sewage sources power requirements 6 5 3 6 5 6 6 80 Total Design Options Design Concept B Numeric Weighted Score Value 5 9 00 8 5 4 6 6 8 5 4 Total Design Concept C Numeric Weighted Score Value 5 7 5 6 4 85 5 6 00 S T 17 5 6 Total
