FACILITY LOCATIONLocation decisions are strategic:-
Liable to affect the entire organizationOperative over longer time spansDifficult to reverseCapital intensive

HIERARCHY OF LOCATION PROBLEMSLocation of ‘plant’Plant lay out (location of ‘Depts’)Physical arrangements of M/csWork place layout (location of ‘tools’ or ‘raw
materials’)

The term ‘facility location’ emphasizes the generalized approach that handles the variety of above mentioned problems.

LOCATION DECISIONS ARE DYNAMICOwing to changing technology, competition,
change of consumer tastes, decisions like new plantsExpansionDecentralizationPlant shut downAre constantly under review.

MECHANICAL ANALOGUE FOR FINDING BEST LOCATION OF A MANUFACTURING PLANT(also known as Varignon’s Frame after the
inventor)

In the absence of friction the common knot P of (m+n) strings comes to equilibrium at least cost location.
{ here we draw an analogy between Min potential energy &Min travel cost}
ASSUMPTIONS
_ R1, R2……Rn locations of raw material sources.
_ M1, M2 ….Mn locations of markets.
_ Euclidean (straight line travel)
_ each weight (there are m+n in all)
_ Wi- No: of annual trips between P and that pt X (cost per unit distance)

MULTI OBJECTIVE CONSIDERATIONS IN LOCATION DECISIONS
FACTORS AFFECTING LOCATION ARE:-SUBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE(labour attitudes) eg: costs

A decision matrix approach with proper evaluation of weights of factors. Normalization of scores can help in ranking alternative locations.
(THIS IS DEMONSTRATEDTHROUGH A CASE STUDY)

Owing to increase of weekly demand to 72000 there is a capacity deficit of 25000 per week and it is felt that a plant of capacity 25000 could be set up X, Y or Z

LOCATIONAL DYNAMICSSuppose third plant is set up at site zAfter some time demand drops from 72000 to
56000 per week.Which plant to shut down?Which plant to run at partial capacity?(these are location decisions)

ALTERNATIVES FOR INVESTIGATION1. Run all plants at partial capacity2.shut down P1 .use overtime in others3. shut down P2. use overtime in others4. shut down Z. use overtime in others.
