1. Choose or develop the criteria for comparison and the weight
(importance) of each

2. Select the alternatives to be compared

3. Generate scores—for each comparison, the product should be evalu-

4. Compute the total score

Four scores will be generated: the number of plus scores, minus scores,
the overall total, and the weighted total. The overall total is the number
of plus scores, minus the number of minus scores. The weighted total is
the scores times their respective weighting factors, added up. The totals
should not be treated as absolute in the decision-making process, but as
