Optimal warehouse location model
Abstract
Purpose of Study: The purpose of this research is to examine the warehousing system of Company X and to test different possible location sites. Through the use of simulation techniques, it was hoped to prove that 1) City-1, Ohio was the optimal location for a one warehouse system; 2) Dallas, along with City-1 were the optimal location for a two-warehouse system; and 3) increase cost-savings might possibly warrant a three warehouse system for Company X. Findings and Conclusions: The results indicate that City-1, Ohio was the optimal location for a one-warehouse system; City-1, Ohio and Dallas, Texas were not the optimal two-warehouse combination; and that the increased cost-savings of a three-warehouse system does warrant further study and consideration.
