Source Selection Matrix

Identify a real or hypothetical project (i.e. resurface the parking lot of an apartment complex) for which a product or service (like painting the parking space lines after resurfacing is completed) must be procured during the Execution phase. Once identified draft a proposal to include the following:

  • Project Description
  • Identification of the product or       service that must be procured
  • Identify three possible supplies for       this project (i.e. painting company A, B, and C)
  • After completing the matrix, provide       a reflection on the process for selecting suppliers
  • Identify at least one advantage and       one disadvantage of the product selection process relative to another       approach that could have been taken.

After identifying your hypothetical project, create a source selection matrix in Microsoft Excel. In your matrix, list five criteria (i.e. Price, proximity of headquarters to job site, supplier’s projection of how long the project will take, warranty duration, and attractiveness of payment terms) that are important in selecting one of the three alternative suppliers.

Once the source selection matrix is created in Excel and populated with suppliers and criteria, weight each criterion (using the same scale for all criterion), score each supplier relative to each criterion (using the same scale for all scores), and then multiply the weight of each criterion by the score for each supplier-criterion combination.  Arrive at the optimal solution.

Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages

Purpose Statement and Model

1) In the introductory paragraph, state why the dependent variable has been chosen for analysis. Then make a general statement about the model:

“The dependent variable _______ is determined by variables ________, ________, ________, and ________.”

2) In the second paragraph, identify the primary independent variable and defend why it is important.

“The most important variable in this analysis is ________ because _________.” In this paragraph, cite and discuss the two research sources that support the thesis, i.e., the model.

3) Write the general form of the regression model (less intercept and coefficients), with the variables named appropriately so reader can identify each variable at a glance:

Dep_Var = Ind_Var_1 + Ind_Var_2 + Ind_Var_3

For instance, a typical model would be written:

Price_of_Home = Square_Footage + Number_Bedrooms + Lot_Size

Where

Price_of_Home: brief definition of dependent variable

Square_Footage: brief definition of first independent variable

Number_Bedrooms: brief definition of second independent variable

Lot_Size: brief definition of third independent variable

[Note: student of course replaces these variable names with his/her own variable names.]

Definition of Variables

4) Define and defend all variables, including the dependent variable, in a single paragraph for each variable. Also, state the expectations for each independent variable. These paragraphs should be in numerical order, i.e., dependent variable, X1, then X2, etc.

In each paragraph, the following should be addressed:

  • How is the variable defined in the data source?
  • Which unit of measurement is used?
  • For the independent variables: why does the variable determine Y?
  • What sign is expected for the independent variable’s coefficient, positive or negative? Why?

Data Description

5) In one paragraph, describe the data and identify the data sources.
