Factors Impacting Facility Location
• The need to produce close to the customer due to
time-based competition, incentives and shipping
costs.
• The need to locate near the appropriate labour
pool to take advantage of low wage costs and/or
high technical skills.

Decision on plant location should be basedon “9M” - Sir M. Visweswariaya.The 9 M s are : Money, Market, Material,
Manpower, Motive power, Management,
Machinery, Methods of communication ,Momentum for an early start Quantitative and Qualitative factors :
Evaluate Factor rating method..Center of gravity method

Factor RatingFactor Rating
StepsSteps Identify and list down all the relevant
factors for the location decision Establish the relative importance of each
factor in the final decision Rate the performance of each candidatelocation using a rating mechanism
Compute a total score for each location
based on its performance against eachfactor and rank them in the decreasingorder of the score

ExampleExample A manufacturer of garments is actively considering five
alternative locations for setting up its factory.
The locations vary in terms of the advantages that itprovides to the firm. Hence the firm requires amethod of identifying the most appropriate location.
Based on a survey of its senior executives the firm hasarrived at six factors to be considered for final siteselection. The ratings of each factor on a scale of 1 to 100provide this information.
Further, based some detailed analysis of both thequalitative and quantitative data available for each of the location, the rating for the locations against each
factor has also been arrived at (on a scale of 0 to100). Using this information obtain a ranking of thealternative locations.

Plant Location Methodology: Center of Gravity
Method
• The center of gravity method is used for locating
single facilities that considers existing facilities,
the distances between them, and the volumes of
goods to be shipped between them.
• This methodology involves formulas used to
compute the coordinates of the two-dimensional point that meets the distance and volume criteria
stated above.

ExampleExample A manufacturer of certain industrial component is
interested in locating a new facility in a target market
and would like to know the most appropriate place in thetarget market to locate the proposed facility. Themanufacturer feels that there are no location constraintsin the target market (i.e. any point in the target marketis good enough).
There are four supply points A, B, C and D in thelocality that will provide key inputs to the newfacility.
The annual supply from these four points to the proposedfacility is 200, 450, 175 and 150 tonnes respectively.
While the coordinates in the parentheses show thedistance from the origin of the target map of eachof the supply point, the number that follows is theannual shipment (in tonnes) from these points tothe proposed facility.
Identify the most appropriate point in the grid map tolocate the new facility.
