Facility Location Models
Location Strategy
One of the most important decisions
a firm makes
Increasingly global in nature
Long term impact and decisions are
difficult to change
The objective is to maximize the
benefit of location to the firm
Location Decisions
Long-term decisions
Decisions made infrequently
Decision greatly affects both fixed
and variable costs
Once committed to a location,
many resource and cost issues are
difficult to change
Location Decisions
Country Decision
Critical Success Factors
1. Political risks, government rules,
attitudes, incentives
2. Cultural and economic issues
3. Location of markets
4. Labor availability, attitudes,
productivity, costs
5. Availability of supplies,
communications, energy
6. Exchange rates and currency
risks

Critical Success Factors
1. Corporate desires
2. Attractiveness of region
3. Labor availability, costs,
attitudes towards unions
4. Costs and availability of utilities
5. Environmental regulations
6. Government incentives and
fiscal policies
7. Proximity to raw materials and
customers
8. Land/construction costs
Location Decisions
Site Decision
Critical Success Factors
1. Site size and cost
2. Air, rail, highway, and
waterway systems
3. Zoning restrictions
4. Nearness of services/
supplies needed
5. Environmental impact
issues
Factors That Affect
Location Decisions
Labor productivity
Wage rates are not the only cost
Lower productivity may increase total cost
Labor cost per day
= cost per unit
Productivity (units per day)
A
$70
= $1.17 per unit
60 units
Z
$25
= $1.25 per unit
20 units
Factors That Affect
Location Decisions
Exchange rates and currency risks
Can have a significant impact on cost
structure
Rates change over time
Costs
Tangible - easily measured costs such as
utilities, labor, materials, taxes
Intangible - less easy to quantify and
include education, public transportation,
community, quality-of-life
Factors That Affect
Location Decisions
Attitudes
National, state, local governments toward
private and intellectual property, zoning,
pollution, employment stability
Worker attitudes towards turnover, unions,
absenteeism
Globally cultures have different attitudes
towards punctuality, legal, and ethical
issues
Factors That Affect
Location Decisions
Proximity to markets
Very important to services
JIT systems or high transportation costs
may make it important to manufacturers
Proximity to suppliers
Perishable goods, high transportation
costs, bulky products
Types Of Facilities
Heavy manufacturing
Auto plants, steel mills, chemical plants
Light industry
Small components mfg, assembly
Warehouse & distribution centers

Locate facility at center of geographic area
Based on weight and distance traveled
Establish grid-map of area
Identify coordinates
and weights shipped
for each location

Load-Distance
Technique
• Compute Load x Distance for each
site
• Choose site with lowest
Load x Distance
• Distance can be actual
or straight-line
Load-Distance Calculations
n
LDij =
ld
ij
ij
j=1
where,
LDij=
load-distance value from site i to all existing facility j’s
lij
load expressed as a weight, number of trips or units
being shipped from proposed site i and location j
=
dij
=
distance between proposed site i and location j
dij
=
(xi - xj)2 + (yi - yj)2
where,
(xi,yi) = coordinates of proposed site i
(xi , yj) = coordinates of existing facility j

Compute distance from each site to each supplier
Site 1 d1A =
(xA - x1)2 + (yA - y1)2 =
(200-360)2 + (200-180)2 = 161.2
d1B =
(xB - x1)2 + (yB - y1)2 =
(100-360)2 + (500-180)2 = 412.3
d1C = 434.2
d1D = 184.4
Load-Distance: Example (cont.)
Site 2 d2A = 333 d2B = 323.9 d2C = 226.7 d2D = 170
Site 3 d3A = 206.2d3B = 180.4 d3C = 200 d3D = 269.3

Site 1 = (75)(161.2) + (105)(412.3) + (135)(434.2) + (60)(434.4) = 125,063
Site 2 = (75)(333) + (105)(323.9) + (135)(226.7) + (60)(170) = 99,791
Site 3 = (75)(206.2) + (105)(180.3) + (135)(200) + (60)(269.3) = 77,555*

Break-Even Analysis
Method of cost-volume analysis used for
industrial locations
Three steps in the method
1. Determine fixed and variable costs
for each location
2. Plot the cost for each location
3. Select location with lowest total
cost for expected production
volume
