METHODS OF PLANT LOCATION
There are many techniques to identify potential sites for the location of plants and other facilities.
The process required to focus the decision in a particular area can vary greatly depending on the type of business that this company and competitive pressures to consider.
Often there are many different criteria that must be taken into account when selecting a group of feasible sites.
• Factors Rating System
• Transport method of linear programming
• Centroid method.
RATING SYSTEM FACTORS
Rating systems factors are perhaps the general location techniques most often used because they provide a mechanism for combining various factors in an easy to understand.
For example:
A refinery assigns the following range of percentages to the main factors that affect a group of potential sites
Fuel in the region 0-330
Availability and reliability of energy 0-200
Work climate 0-100
Living conditions 0-100
Transport 0 to 50
Water supply 0-10
Weather 0-50
Providing 0 to 60
Policies and tax laws 0-20
It was qualified each site is based on each factor and select a percentage of its assigned range. Then it was compared the sum of the points assigned to each site and chose the site with more points.
A major problem with the simplified diagrams of grade point is that do not take into account the wide variety of costs that can occur in each factor, for example, there may be a difference of a few thousand dollars between the best and worst location a factor and several hundred dollars from the best location in another factor.
It is likely that the first factor has the most points but that is not helpful in making the decision on the location, and perhaps the second has few points but show a real difference in the value of the locations.
To manage this program for deriving suggests possible points for each scale factor using a weighting based on the standard deviations of the costs.
This is possible to consider the relative costs.
TRANSPORT METHOD OF LINEAR PROGRAMMING
The transport method is a special linear programming method, gets its name from its application in problems involving the
