1. Suppose labor cost is twice as important as utility cost, which is in turn twice as important as climate. Lubbock has scores of 8, 5, and 2 in these areas; El Paso has scores of 7, 6, and 5 in these areas; Dallas has scores of 6, 6, and 6 in these areas, and Houston has scores of 3, 7, and 9 in these areas. Determine the criterion weights to be applied for determining the bestoveralllocation for a new facility.

1. Once you have the criterion weights determined, use them to determine an overall ranking of the alternatives involved in this decision

1. Summarize the procedure for solving this problem according to the decision making portion of the SPSF.
