DECIDING WHERE TO LOCATE
Choosing a location
![Page 3: Operation Management Chapter 6](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102721/5456ca49af79590d0d8b7cc5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Once chosen, many organizations NEVER CHANGE location
The two tasks of deciding location and layout are distinct yet related. They are distinct in that
location concerns where best to site a facility, whereas layout concerns how best to arrange the staff, processes and equipment within that facility. And they are related in that they form two parts of
a key decision – how best to position facilities in order to perform the operations task and meet the
needs of the business.

Site location techniques
In the location factor rating system, factors that are important in the location decision are identified. Each factor is weighted from 0 to 1.00 to prioritize the factor and reflect its importance. A subjective score is assigned (usually between 0 and 100) to each factor based on its attractiveness compared with other locations, and the weighted scores are summed. Decisions typically will not be made based solely on these ratings, but they provide a good way to organize and rank factors.

The center-of-gravity, or weight center, technique is a quantitative method for locating a facility such as a warehouse at the center of movement in a geographic area based on weight and distance. This method identifies a set of coordinates designating a central location on a map relative to all other locations.
