Question

Construct a table that shows how to prioritize potential Strategic Six Sigma projects based on their relationships with business objectives. Explain how the table functions to accomplish its aim. Answer:

1.Wis are developed by the Finance Department. The sum of Wi = 1.0. 2.Cell values are determined by team members with the strong guidance of the finance department. The weighted averages that are shown in the last row of the columns are ranked from smallest to largest. The largest average is considered the highest priority project. Alternatively, a control chart could be used to find a project with a weighted average that is out of control on the high side from the other project's averages.

Explanation

Option A is correct because this question is a constructed-response item - it asks candidates to build and explain a prioritization matrix, so no multiple-choice distractors exist; the answer must be demonstrated, not selected. Since there are no distractors, none can be "wrong." The core concept being tested is a weighted criteria matrix: the Finance Department assigns importance weights (Wi) that sum to 1.0, team members score each candidate project against each business objective, and multiplying scores by weights yields a weighted average per project - the highest average earns the top priority ranking.

Memory tip: Think of the table as a scorecard with a budget - Finance controls the "budget" of weight (Wi = 1.0 total), ensuring the prioritization stays aligned with financial strategy, not just team opinion. The project that "spends" that weight most effectively wins.
