When many different candidates are occurring a qualitative approach is suitable. However, this is most suitable during the initial phase when you have to narrow down the candidates rather quickly. Moreover, a reference candidate can be chosen and the other candidates are then compared to the reference candidate and rated. This is also referred to as “The Concept Screening Matrix”. In this approach only <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">"</ins>+<ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">"</ins>, <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">"</ins>0<ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">" </ins>or <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">"</ins>–<ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">" </ins>are assigned. This gives a quick overview of potential candidates to pursue and hence is suitable in an early stage<ref name="PP"> [''Product Design and Development''] ''Ulrich, Karl T.; Eppinger, Steven D. 201'' </ref>. From table 3, the usual breakfast is chosen as reference and the other candidates are rated compared to the usual breakfast. If there are more + than the reference then you should eat that breakfast candidate. The quantitative approach is based upon a scale like the one from table 2 and like the example, the candidate with the highest ranking is chosen. In some cases, a candidate who has a higher score for all criteria might occur and will naturally be chosen and decision process will end. This type of candidate is referred to as a “Dominant Candidate”. <ref name="SCM"> [''Lecture, 42457 Supply Chain Management''] ''DTU, Engineering Management, 13.09.2016'' </ref></div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>#'''Ranking each criterion''' can be assigned with a weight if they are of greater importance for the end-decision.
