Location Analysis Techniques
Cost oriented location analysis
techniques can be used for deciding upon
plant from available set of sites:
1. Dimensional Analysis
2. Factor Rating Method
3. Point Rating Method
4. Cost-Profit-Volume analysis
5. Center of Gravity Method, and
6. Transportation and Simulation Models
8/8/2019 POM Session IV Facility Location-final
26/67
1. Dimensional Analysis
Relative merits of different costs
(transportation, cost) are considered
*its easy to select a plant site if all costare tangible & quantifiable
Plant with L1 is selected
In case of intangible costs, evaluation
in absolute terms is difficult. E.g.skill
level of labour
8/8/2019 POM Session IV Facility Location-final
27/67
However, we can measure relative
merit of labour skill among the 2 sites
To rank one plant over another, ratio of
EACH cost is taken each cost ratio is
given an appropriate weightage by using
an index to which it is raised
Weighted ratios are multiplied to
obtain the final figure on relative merit of
2 plant sites

4. Cost-Profit-Volume Analysis
When the fixed and variable costs
for each site differ, Cost-profit-
volume analysis can be used to
identify the location with the
lowest cost.

Foster Paper Ltd. is considering three alternative
sites for its new production facility.
The Annual Production Cost associated with each
alternative is a linear function of the production
volume. That is:
Example
8/8/2019 POM Session IV Facility Location-final
36/67
Total Production Cost = (Fixed Cost) +(variable unit cost) x (annual productionvolume)
Assume that the expected annualproduction volume is 250,000 units.
Example
8/8/2019 POM Session IV Facility Location-final
37/67
A. For Site A: Prod. Cost = 10.000.000 + 250 x
B. For Site B: Prod. Cost = 25.000.000 + 150 x
C. For Site C: Prod. Cost = 60.000.000 + 50 x
Based on these information, Which site has thelowest cost?
Example
8/8/2019 POM Session IV Facility Location-final
38/67
At a production volume of 250.000 units,site B has the lowest cost, because
A.For Site A: Prod. Cost = 10.000.000 + 250
(250.000) = 72.500.000
B.For Site B: Prod. Cost = 25.000.000 + 150
(250.000) = 62.500.000
C.For Site C: Prod. Cost = 60.000.000 + 50
(250.000) = 72.500.000

The graph shows that annual production cost changes with
different production volumes
-If the expected annual production volume is below 150k
units, then choose site A
-If the expected annual production volume is between 150k
and 350k units, then choose site B
-If the expected annual production volume is over 350k
units, then choose site C

coordinate for new facility)
Cy= 1,185,000 / 10,000 = 118.5 (y

Straub plans to build a new plant. It has
narrowed down the choice of sites to two
possibilities: Kalamazoo and Duluth.
We will now determine which site results in the
lowest transportation cost by using the unit
transportation costs, warehouse demands, and
plant capacities shown in the following:

We will approach this problem in the following
manner:
First, Kalamazoo plant is selected and total
transportation cost is calculated
Then, Duluth is selected & total transportation
cost is calculated
Finally, the transportation costs are compared
Example
Example

Now, the first step is to find the Optimal
number of units to ship between each plant-
warehouse combination
This also gives the optimal transportation
cost for the problem
Example
Example

We can use any of the computerized LP tools for
finding the optimum values for this problem.
Some of these include WINQSB, Lindo, OM Expert, and
Excel.
We use WINQSB to solve this transportation model. The
result is as follows:
Example
Example

The total transportation cost comes to
$10,225 if the new plant is built in
Kalamazoo
