Question

Beagle Clothiers uses a weighted score for the evaluation and
selection of its suppliers of trendy fashion garments. Each sup-
plier is rated on a 10-point scale (10 = highest) for four different
criteria: price, quality, delivery, and flexibility (to accommodate
changes in quantity and timing). Because of the volatility of
the business in which Beagle operates, flexibility is given twice
the weight of each of the other three criteria, which are equally
weighted. The table below shows the scores for three potential
suppliers for the four performance criteria. Based on the highest
weighted score, which supplier should be selected?
