Read the following passage:

D Techno, a small firm, has eight employees (Employee IDs 1001 to 1008) working in three departments(Department A, Department B and Department C) who are involved in various planning and executionprocesses of the firm. Department C has more employees than other two departments. Most of theseemployees are involved in both, planning and execution processes, whereas remaining employees are involved in either planning or execution processes only. Employees are rated for their performance usingsix Key Performance Indicators (KPI), three indicators for performance in three planning processes(Planning KPI1 to Planning KPI3) and three indicators for performance in execution processes(ExecutionKPI1 to ExecutionKPI3). Rating varies from zero to ten where ten indicates best performance(Fig A and Fig B). Planning Average Rating is derived as average of all three Planning KPI Ratings andExecution Average Rating is average of all three Execution KPI Ratings (Fig C). Final Weighted Rating isweighted sum of Planning Average Rating and Execution Average Rating. Each department uses its own weightages for planning and execution KPIs to calculate Final Weighted Rating . One of the departmentsgives 40% weightage to Planning Average Rating & 60% to Execution Average Rating, second departmentgives 30% & 70% and third department gives 80% & 20%. Final Weighted Rating of all employees is shown in Fig.D

Question 74

Who among the following employees is working in Department C?

Solution

From the final weighted rating , planning average rating and execution average rating we can calculate the departments to which they belong on the basis of weightage distribution.

Employee 1001 has a planning average rating of 9 and execution average rating of 3 and final rating is 4.2

Using weighted average method we can say than 20% weightage is given to planning and 80% weightage is given to execution average rating.

Similarly for other employees also we can calculate this

Employees in department which gives 40% weight to planning 60% weightage to execution are 1001, 1002

Employees in department which gives 30% weight to planning 70% weightage to execution are 1003, 1004

Employees in department which gives 20% weight to planning 80% weightage to execution are 1007, 1008, 1005, 1006

Department C has maximum employees so 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008 belong to department C.
