Figure 7-15. Assessment Screen for Smart Method.<br />

In this screen, you will see a line for each member.<br />

Representatives are allowed for sub-goals in this method. If you<br />

have checked the "Use Representatives for Sub-Goals" option in<br />

the assess weights dialog box, LDW will ask you to select a<br />

representative for each active sub-goal. These representatives<br />

appear instead of the goal they represent in the assessment<br />

window.<br />

Each member or representative has a line showing its most and<br />

least preferred level. At the left of each line is an edit box where<br />

you can enter each member's swing weight and a bar where you<br />

can adjust swing weights graphically.<br />

You can think of the swing weight as the relative importance of<br />

improving the member from its least preferred to most preferred<br />

level. One way to assess swing weights is to first think of an<br />

alternative with all members at their least preferred level. Then<br />

think of being allowed to improve just one member from its least<br />

preferred to its most preferred level.<br />

When you have decided which member you would most like to<br />

improve, assign it a swing weight of 100.<br />
