Definicja weighting key

In vendor evaluation the key by which evaluation criteria are weighted according to their importance.

For example, the overall evaluation of a vendor is calculated from the scores awarded for the main evaluation criteria "price," "quality," and "delivery." The latter comprises "on-time delivery performance" and "quantity reliability."

If you consider a vendor's price to be more important than quality, and quality to be more important than delivery, you can assign weights to the criteria in a ratio of three for price, two for quality, and one for delivery. This ratio is recorded in a weighting key.

In vendor evaluation, the scores for different groups of vendors can be determined using different weighting keys.
