For example, in the banks, an individual can conduct various transactions. Each transaction has a different charge e. g when sending money to another country, the amount charged is different depending on the amount one is sending and the country of the intended transfer. To simplify this charges for customers, banks can prepare a matrix indicating the range of money that is to be sent in a specific country on the vertically and the amount charged alongside it on the horizontally.

The score of the employee can be indicated horizontally for example under the heading very good, good, average, poor or very poor. This would make the evaluation of the employees easy on the various fields with the score being easily picked at each field.

The use of a matrix can help individuals summarize a lot of information into a simple table. This can help in understanding various uses of different objects that are not known. It also helps in saving time and other resources that could be used in trying to pass the information in a complicated form. As a result, it should be embraced a quick method of creative problem solving.
