Organize this information into a spreadsheet for analysis. Do a form of Pew analysis where you provide a weighting factor to the 3 most important variables at a 70%, 20%, 10% weighting. Record and house your results in your spreadsheet. Which supplier would you choose and why? (hint: I would think the 3 most important factors are total cost, mu maintenance and website, the smaller total is usually better. So create a spreadsheet in columns for each quote, insert an additional column, for each quote to include the weighting factors and even a third column, for each quote to total your answer). Store this spreadsheet in a place where it can be easily retrieved.
