An organization is considering three different suppliers for an important component of a new product. Three attributes: X (on-time delivery performance), Y (quality of product), and Z (cost) were considered in the development of a scaled, additive, multi-attribute value function. The three attributes: X, Y, and Z are all constructed attributes, each with a worst value of 1 and a best value of 5. (Cost was not evaluated on a typical numerical scale, but on a subjective scale)
