How can the weighted moving average be determined?

Explain the a ssumptions behind the center-of-gravity method. How can the model be used in a service facility location?

How would you define a well-known online destination? If a company is too tiny to afford it, what other choices do they have?

A food manufacturer wants to locate a warehouse to serve its major customers. The customers, annual volume and the X and Y coordinates are shown in the table below.   Customer Annual Volume X Coordinate Y Coordinate Judy Inc 25 3 7 Zac Supermarket 13 5 2 Harry Inc 6 8 4 Sky Productions 4 1 5   Using the centre of gravity location technique, determine the location coordinates that will minimize the transportation costs for their family of products.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the weighted factor method, centre of gravity method and location break even analysis in operations management when looking at locations

A larger and more modern main post office is to be constructed at a new location in Davis, California. Growing suburbs caused a shift in the population density from where it was 40 years ago, when the current facility was built. Annette Werk, the postmaster, asked her assistants to draw a grid map of the seven points where mail is picked up and delivered in bulk. The coordinates and trips per day to and from the seven mail source points and the current main post office, M, are shown in the following table. M will continue to act as a mail source point after relocation. Mail Source Point Round trips per day x, y, Coordinates (miles) 1 4 (4, 6) 7 (8, 4) (3, 14) (6, 10) (12, 11) (13, 5) (13, 6) (14, 10) 3 1 4 11 7 3 7 3 M 8 a.
