The first choice has three points, the second choice has two points, and the third choice has one point. I am eliminating C, E, F, and J projects, which had less than three points. A, B, D, G, H, and I remain for round two.

Isabella had project C as her second choice in round one; she eliminated project C, her next project choice was G. The team was assigned two points for the first project choice one point for the second choice. Leaving projects, A, B, H, and I all with two points, project D with four, and project G with three. The goal for round two was to narrow the projects down to two. All projects had two points in round two once the voting process is eliminated, leaving projects D & G in the final round. Isabella, Ethan, and Olivia had to change their first choice to either project D or G.

For the final round of voting, each team member received one vote for their last first choice. Project D received two votes, and projects G received three votes. Therefore, project G is the most supported project and be selected to use by the QM team.

“Multi-voting is an iterative technique for narrowing choices when faced with a wide range of alternatives by limiting the number of alternatives an individual may choose and selecting the most supported options in the voting group” (Ross, T. K. 2014, p. 148) When selecting a solution for a problem four criteria should be considered: risk, the economy of effort, timing, and resources (Ross, 2014). Considering risk will help with selecting the solution that has the maximum benefits and stays within budget. The economic efforts deal with using as little effort as possible and still accomplish the best possible results. Considering how much effort needs to be put into the solution to get maximum results, this helps to see how much time is available to resolve the problem. “Finally, considering resources means that all actions are within the abilities of those who must carry it into action.” (Ross, 2014).
