Q

The facility plan scoring method is a very popular, subjective decision making tool that is relatively easy to use

A

Factor Analysis Technique

31
Q
  • This is a quantitative method for locating the center of movement in a geographic area based on weight & distance
  • Identifies a set of coordinates designating a central location on a map relative to all other locations
A

Center of Gravity Technique

32
Q
  • A variation of the center of gravity method for determining the coordinates of a facility location
  • evaluates different locations based on the load being transported and the distance
  • In this method, a single set of location coordinates is not identified
  • various location are evaluated using a load distance value that is a measure of weight and distance
A

Load Distance Technique
