The system with the highest total score is judged the best system. This assumes the weighting factors are fair and the rating of each evaluation criterion is accurate. According to our safe deposit example in the IBM PC is the best system for the job. Growth potential was the criterion that had the greatest effect on the total score. The HP 100 and the Apple III were given lower ratings than the IBM PC because they were not judged to grow as easily and quickly. Additionally, user training was judged superior for the PC than for other candidate systems.
Most feasibility studies select from more candidate systems than we used in our safe deposit example. The criteria chosen and the constraints are also more complex. In any case, management should not make the selection without having the experience to do so. Management cooperation and comments, however, are encouraged.
