QUALITY IMPROVEMENT TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES Multivoting 1 Definition : A voting process that narrows a broad list of ideas to those that are most important.     Purpose : Used to narrow a list of ideas to the critical few worthy of immediate attention.     Procedure : Using a predetermined list of ideas, consider whether any are the same or similar Ask the group - especially those who identified the items in question - whether similar items may be grouped together. If the group agrees, combine the duplicate items (or the similar items). Number each item on the new list. Determine the number of points that will be assigned to the list by each group member. Allow several minutes for group members to independently assign their points to one or more of the items on the list. Indicate each member's point allocation on the list. Tally the votes for each item on the list. Note the items that received the greatest number of points.
