Problems arise when the consumer wants to buy products with several better quality characteristics, but the products have only one of them. The aim is to establish a link between the quality characteristics of the product and its market value in terms of consumer benefits.

The model is built on the basis of statistical processing of the data received from consumers about preferences at the choice of production.

Findings: The method of determining the optimal supplier based on the cost and quality indicators of the product. Some indicators of the quality of products and their ranking by significance for the consumer are given. It gives the examples of calculation methods for univariate and two-factor analysis. It shows the ways of diagramming the determination of values of factors of production.
