Explanation / Answer

Weighted performance score for each

= Weight x Quality score + Weight x Cost score + Weight x Speed score

= 0.5 x Quality score + 0.4 x Cost score + 0.1 x Speed score

Thus weighted performance score for Aramark

= 0.5 x 4 + 0.4 x 4 + 0.1 x 2

= 2 + 1.6 + 0.2

= 3.8

Weighted performance score for Compass

= 0.5 x 4 + 0.4 x 3 + 0.1 x 2

= 2 + 1.2 + 0.2

= 3.4

Weighted performance score for Sodexo

= 0.5 x 2 + 0.4 x 5 + 0.1 x 4

= 1 + 2 + 0.4

= 3.4

Weighted performance score for Premier

= 0.5 x 4 + 0.4 x 3 + 0.1 x 5

= 2 + 1.2 + 0.5

= 3.7

Out of above , Aramark has the highest weighted score of 3.8. Hence Aramark is the chosen one followed by Premier and further followed by Compass / Sodexo .

Therefore , correct statement would be “Aramark is superior to Sodexo”
