Compatibility with existing products Required non-recurring engineering cost iv. Required factory floor space for production After further discussions, she (the General Manager) tells you that she feels that the latter three criteria ("compatibility with existing product line", "required non-recurring engineering cost" and "required factory floor space for production") are all equally as important. The criterion "payback period is the most important consideration, and is about twice as important as any single one of the other three criteria. You agree to the following evaluation scale: 2 Payback period (years) 3
4 Low >200 >4000 Note: The value 3 is best in the above rating system. After consulting with internal subject matter experts, you evaluate the projects as shown below.
