B.Service organizations find that proximity to market is the most critical primary location factor. C.Perishability of raw materials is a good reason for manufacturers to locate near the supplier, not the customer. D.Reduction in bulk is a good reason for a manufacturer to locate near the supplier.

A supply chain manager faced with choosing among four possible locations has assessed each location according to the following criteria, where the weights reflect the importance of the criteria.       Location Criteria Weight 1 2 3 4 Raw material availability 0.06 P VG OK VG Infrastructute 0.07 P G VG OK Transportation costs 0.33 G P OK P Labor relations 0.25 VG G P OK Quality of life 0.29 G OK P VG     VG = Very good 5 pts; G = Good 4 pts; OK = Acceptable 3 pts ; P = Poor 1 pt.   Using this information, determine the best and the worst location. Round your answers to two decimal places.   Location Total Points 1   2   3   4     ______ is the best location and  _______ is the worst location.

Contrast the location of a food distributor and a supermar-ket. (The distributor sends truckloads of food, meat, produce, etc., to the supermarket.) Show the relevant considerations(factors) they share; show those where they differ.

Develop a network showing the origin nodes, destinations, arcs, cost per arc, supply, and demand. Match the correct answer to each question.

Select all of the examples of companies locating a facility because of market асcess. O A company that supplies products to the US and European markets locates their production facility in southeast Asia. A major retailer is located in several major cities across the country. O A company locates a processing facility adjacent to the supplier's mining operations. O A business management consulting firm locates in the same cities as prestigious universities.

Location decisions represent a key part of the strategic planning process of virtually every organization. Highlight any four (4) reasons/circumstances that may call for new location decisions in organizations. Outline any three (3) aspects that differentiate a manufacturing location from a service location decisions.

i. Using the centre of gravity location technique, determine the location coordinates that will minimize the transportation costs for their family of products

An analysis of sites for a distribution center has led to two possible sites (L1 and L2 on the map). The sites are comparable on every key factor. The one remaining factor is the center of gravity. Use the center of gravity method to select the better site. Monthly shipments will be the quantities listed in the table.

1. Using the center-of-gravity method, compute the centralized coordinates among the following locations, which are indicated via black cells with white text in LOCATION.xlsx: 7,1 10,1 4,2 2,5 6,6 9,6 2,8 6,10 2. Using the weighted average center-of-gravity, which accounts for quantities to be shipped from locations, compute the centralized coordinates among the following locations: 7,1 10,1 4,2 2,5 6,6 9,6 2,8 6,10 *Quantities to be shipped are listed within the existing locations (i.e. Location 7,1 ships 17 units) in LOCATION.xlsx

What is a corner point?

Which of the following techniques works for location analysis for both​ service/retail/professional organizations as well as​ goods-producing organizations? A. Transportation method B. Traffic counts C. ​Factor-rating method D. Demographic analysis of drawing area.
