Multi-Voting Process Tool

Review the following problem by discussing the process and the tool you will use to complete the analysis. Work through the scenario provided below to determine a solution.
Discuss the four criteria that should be considered when selecting a solution: risk, economy, timing, and resources. How might they apply to your solution?

Using a multi-voting process tool, address the following problem:

Ten projects are being considered by the QM team. Based on team member preferences (below), if a single vote is held, Project D will be selected. The chair wants to consider team member preferences beyond simply their first choices. Use a multi-voting process and assign three points to each member’s first choice, two points to the second, and one point to the third. After the first vote, options that receive fewer than three points should be eliminated and the remaining options re-voted. In subsequent rounds, two points will be given to the first choice and one point to the second. Continue to eliminate low vote-tallying options until all but two options have been eliminated. On the final vote, each team member will get a single vote worth one point. Which option will be selected?

ROUND 1- (votes in all three rounds are represented by a tally mark).

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total Points
A	I		I	4
B	I		I	4
C		I		2
D	II			6
E			II	2
F			I	1
G		II		4
H	I			3
I		II		4
J				0

In the first round the first choices are given 3 points, second choices are given 2 points, and third choices are given 1 point. Eliminated options are represented in gray

ROUND 2-VOTES IN RED

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total PoinIts
A	I	I	I	2
B	I	I	I	2
C				0
D	II	II		4
E				0
F				0
G		II	III	3
H	I	I		2
I		II	II	2
J

In this round, the first choices are given 2points, second choices are given 1 point, third choices are awarded zero points.

ROUND 3-VOTES IN BLUE

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total PoinIts
A	I	I	I
B	I	I	I
C
D	II	II	II	2
E
F
G		II	III
H	I	I
I		II	II
J

In round three, first choices are given one point, and the remaining choices are awarded no points.

The drawback of the multi-voting tool is that it “does not allow each member of the team to express a preference for each alternative.” (Ross, 2014.)

Emma	D, I, F, A, E, G, B, C, H, J
Olivia	B, G, A, J, H, C, F, E, I, D

The choices bolded above were the three top votes of each person.

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total Points
A	3		1	4
B	3		1	4
C		2		2
D	6			6
E			2	2
F			1	1
G		4		4
H	3			3
I		4		4
J				0

To move to the second rote of voting, the choices must have a total of three points minimum, which means that choices C,E,F,and J are eliminated. To determine the amount of points each letter got, you look at the team preference chart. The first choice for each person earns three points, second choices is two points and third choice is one point. Three people voted for A, B, H as their first choice earning 3 points each. Two people chose option D giving that selection 6 points. Option C was only given two points because only one person voted it as their second choice. G and I earned 4 points each. The third choice by the people earned one more point for A, and B, as well as one point for F. E earned two points.

Second Vote:

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total Points
A		2		2
B		2		2

D		4		4


G			2	2
H		2		2
I			2	2

In round two voting, the first vote for each person received 2 points instead of 3. Therefore, A B D and H all received two points. The second votes for the team received just one point instead of 2. Option C was already eliminated in round 1 voting because it didn’t meet the 3 total points needed. That eliminates the votes down to G and I with two points each. Options A B D G H and I all move into the third round of voting to eliminate choices. In the third round of voting, the first choice will receive 1 point

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total Points
A			1	1
B			1	1

D			2	2


G
H
I

Looking at the preference chart, Options A B and D were the first choices for the people. These received points in the third round, therefore eliminating the other contenders. Option D is left with the most votes, and is therefore the final selection. Options G, H, I did not receive points because they were not the first choices for the people.

Using this process to make a selection can sometimes result in eliminating a logical and efficient selection just because people don’t vote on it. It doesnt mean that that option wasn’t appropriate or plausible. Economy, resources and timing should also be considered when making a selection. Despite what option is selected by the team, it would still be imperative to make sure that the choice is appropriate given the economy and resources available at the time. If the option selected doesnt have the proper resources to allow for that option to work, then a different selection should be made.

Isabella	A, C, E, F, G, J, D, H, I, B
Ethan	H, G, E, D, B, I, J, A, C, F
Emma	D, I, F, A, E, G, B, C, H, J
Olivia	B, G, A, J, H, C, F, E, I, D

The letters that are highlighted represents the first three choices of each team member.

Round One Votes

Project Options	First Choice = 3 Points	Second Choice = 2 Points	Third Choice = 1 Point	Total Points
A	●		●	4
B	●		●	4
C		●		2
D	● ●			6
E			● ●	2
F			●	1
G		● ●		4
H	●			3
I		● ●		4
J				0

The symbol “●” represents a single person who voted for the lettered project. If there are multiple dots then there a more than one person who voted for the same option. The total number of points is calculated by multiplying the number of points by the number of team members for each pick.

For example, one person chose A for their first choice which is equal to 3 points. One person chose A for their 3rd choice which is equal to 1 point. The total number of points for project A can be calculated as 3 + 1= 4.

The rules state that the letters that total to less than three points are to be eliminated. The letters that are to be eliminated are C, E, F, and J. The letters in red are crossed out because they have less than 3 points and are eliminated from the second round.

Jacob	D, I, B, C, A, F, E, J, H, G
Isabella	A, C, E, F, G, J, D, H, I, B
Ethan	H, G, E, D, B, I, J, A, C, F
Emma	D, I, F, A, E, G, B, C, H, J
Olivia	B, G, A, J, H, C, F, E, I, D

Round Two Votes

Project Options	First Choice = 2 Points	Second Choice = 1 Points	Total Points
A	●		2
B	●	● ●	4
D	● ●	●	5
G		●●●	3
H		●	1
I		● ●	2

For this round, the first choice is equal to 2 points and the second choice is equal to 1 point. The options were determined after the letters from the original layout were eliminated. An example of how I calculated the points were D = 2 votes x 2 points = 4 + 1 point = 5 total points. I eliminated letters A, H, and I because these options resulted in less than 3 points.

New Vote Chart

Jacob	D, I, B, C, A, F, E, J, H, G
Isabella	A, C, E, F, G, J, D, H, I, B
Ethan	H, G, E, D, B, I, J, A, C, F
Emma	D, I, F, A, E, G, B, C, H, J
Olivia	B, G, A, J, H, C, F, E, I, D

Round Three Votes

Project Options	First Choice = 2 Point	Second Choice = 1 Point	Total Points
B	●	●	3
D	● ●	●	5
G	● ●	●●●●	8

Jacob	D, I, B, C, A, F, E, J, H, G
Isabella	A, C, E, F, G, J, D, H, I, B
Ethan	H, G, E, D, B, I, J, A, C, F
Emma	D, I, F, A, E, G, B, C, H, J
Olivia	B, G, A, J, H, C, F, E, I, D

Final Round Votes

Project Options	First Choice = 1 Point	Second Choice = 1 point	Total Points
D	● ● ●	●	4
G	● ● ●	● ● ● ●	7

For the final round, the first choice was a draw, so I continued to the second choice and counted one vote for D as the second choice and 4 points for G as the second choice. When totaled, D equaled 4 points and G equal to 7 points.

After all of the votes were tallied, project G is the preferred choice amongst the voters.

Discuss the four criteria that should be considered when selecting a solution: risk, economy, timing, and resources. How might they apply to your solution?

When selecting a solution, there are four criteria that should be considered which are the risks, economy, timing, and resources. For example, when identifying a problem such as hiring more staff, all of these criteria will be essential to the decision-making process. The timing and risk should be considered when hiring new employees in regard to employee ratios, loss of staff, patient volumes, and flu seasons in which people become sick. The economy should be considered based on the organization’s budget and if the organization is receiving enough revenue to accommodate the costs of hiring more staff. Resources should be considered such as training needs, materials, and what else may be necessary to meet the company’s goal of the hiring process. For this particular scenario, the preferences of the team members are being considered to see where the majority feel is the best project to work on. If I had to consider the four criteria, I will need to see if I have the necessary resources to complete project G if there are any risks involved, is the timing of the project appropriate in regards to the completion time, and do I have the budget to fund the project.

Emma	D, I, F, A, E, G, B, C, H, J
Olivia	B, G, A, J, H, C, F, E, I, D

Information highlighted specifies three first votes from each team member eliminating the remaining.

FRIST ROUND VOTE:

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total Points
A	3	0	1	4
B	3	0	1	4
C	0	2	0	2
D	6	0	0	6

F	0	0	1	1
G	0	4	0	4
H	3	0	0	3
I	0	4	0	4
J	0	0	0	0

The first choice has three points, the second choice has two points, and the third choice has one point. I am eliminating C, E, F, and J projects, which had less than three points. A, B, D, G, H, and I remain for round two.

SECOND ROUND VOTE:

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total Points
A		2		2
B		2		2
C
D		4		4
E
F
G			3	3
H		2		2
I			2	2
J

Isabella had project C as her second choice in round one; she eliminated project C, her next project choice was G. The team was assigned two points for the first project choice one point for the second choice. Leaving projects, A, B, H, and I all with two points, project D with four, and project G with three. The goal for round two was to narrow the projects down to two. All projects had two points in round two once the voting process is eliminated, leaving projects D & G in the final round. Isabella, Ethan, and Olivia had to change their first choice to either project D or G.

THIRD ROUND VOTE:

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total Points
A
B
C
D			2	2
E
F
G			3	3
H
I
J

For the final round of voting, each team member received one vote for their last first choice. Project D received two votes, and projects G received three votes. Therefore, project G is the most supported project and be selected to use by the QM team.

“Multi-voting is an iterative technique for narrowing choices when faced with a wide range of alternatives by limiting the number of alternatives an individual may choose and selecting the most supported options in the voting group” (Ross, T. K. 2014, p. 148) When selecting a solution for a problem four criteria should be considered: risk, the economy of effort, timing, and resources (Ross, 2014). Considering risk will help with selecting the solution that has the maximum benefits and stays within budget. The economic efforts deal with using as little effort as possible and still accomplish the best possible results. Considering how much effort needs to be put into the solution to get maximum results, this helps to see how much time is available to resolve the problem. “Finally, considering resources means that all actions are within the abilities of those who must carry it into action.” (Ross, 2014).

Emma	D, I, F, A, E, G, B, C, H, J
Olivia	B, G, A, J, H, C, F, E, I, D

The above table highlighted indicates the three first votes from each team member and eliminating the remaining.

1st round vote

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total Points
A	3		1	4
B	3		1	4
C		2		2
D	6			6
E			2	2
F			1	1
G		4		4
H	3			3
I		4		4
J

The 1st round vote table shows the points for each option letter. Three points for the first choice, two points for the second choice, and one point for the third choice. The columns show the number of points for each selected letter under the options column. Once the total amounts are counted, then eliminate any totals points less than 3. The highlighted option letters and total points will move to the second-round vote.

2nd round vote

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total Points
A		2		2
B		2		2
C
D		4		4
E
F
G			2	2
H
I			2	2
J

The 2nd round vote identifies the option letter and total points above to be revoted. The highlighted blue indicates the eliminated letters. The remaining options are revoted using two points for the first choice and one point for the second choice.

3rd round vote

Options	3 Points	2 Points	1 Point	Total Points
A			1	1
B			1	1
C
D			2	2
E
F
G
H
I
J

The 3rd round vote is to eliminate all low votes until two options remain. The remaining option is revoted using one point. The option selected is D since it has the most points.

The multi-voting process ranking tool using the set of solutions to narrow the choices and selecting the best option. The risk is eliminating possible good options by only selecting the first three choices. The economy effort is making the best choice with the least effort so employees can return to work. Timing is reducing the amount of time and quickly find a solution, which means narrowing down the choices. The resource is strong support, end of votes, and choosing the option with the highest points.
