A Criteria-Based Matrix (CBM) is a Six Sigma tool used to prioritize and evaluate options based on specific criteria. It involves listing potential solutions and rating them against predefined criteria, such as cost, impact, feasibility, and time. Each criterion is weighted based on its importance, and scores are assigned to each option. The total scores help identify the most effective and practical solutions. CBM aids in objective decision-making, ensuring that critical factors are considered and balanced. This tool supports strategic planning, resource allocation, and process improvement, aligning with Six Sigma goals of enhancing quality and efficiency.
