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).
