3、l homes are important because They affect travel time to work, to school, to recreational centers, and to shopping malls. A home in a good school district is particularly important for most parents with school-age children. A home in a “bad” neighborhood means the residents are exposed to higher ris

They commit the organization to long lasting financial, employment, and distribution patterns. For retail outlets, location affects the demand for their products/services. For l

27、26Location and Distribution (Henry C. Co)How good is the center of gravity?First, consider Euclidean distances.Geometrically, the straight line connecting the center of gravity and demand center A is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The lengths of the two legs of the right triangle correspond to

28、the x- and y- coordinate distances between the center of gravity and demand center A, i.e., (6.669 2.5) along the x-axis, and (4.5 3.022) along the y-axis. From the Pythagorean Theorem, the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of square of the length of the two legs = (6.669 2.5) 2

29、+ (4.5 3.022)2 = 19.566. The Euclidean distance therefore is 4.423. The corresponding Excel formula is F6 = SQRT(B6-$C$2)2+(C6-$C$3)2). 27Location and Distribution (Henry C.

33、erned with finding the minimum cost way to get products from a variety of plants/suppliers to their final markets.Typically, different suppliers have different costs and capacities; transportation costs are specific to a supplier / market pair; and different markets have different requirements and p

34、ossibly profitability.Realistic problems of this type can involve large numbers of suppliers, products, and markets and can be difficult to figure out by intuition or gut feel.35Location and Distribution (Henry C. Co)Solution MethodsThere are many approaches to the distribution system planning probl

35、em. The usual approach is to develop a first cut solution either by making simplifying assumptions or using heuristics, and then fine-tuning the solution with more advanced methodologies such as mathematical programming techniques and computer simulation. The center of gravity method is an example o

36、f a first cut solution. The solution was derived by taking weighted average of the x- and y- coordinates of the demand clusters. Solver improved the solution by than 10%. What we just solved is actually a complex non-linear optimization problem. The availability of inexpensive high-speed computer ha

42、Notice that there are two sections. The first section shows the unit shipping costs. The cells have been formatted as currency with 2 decimal places (Select by highlighting the cells, then click on Format- Cell- Currency ). The second section shows the allocation and shipping costs. The optimal allo

The demand and supply have been entered in cells B27:F27 and cells H20:H25, respectively. Also, row 28 has been formatted as “currency” with 2 decimal places, and all other cell

49、)What we have just modeled is a linear programming problem. The objective function is the total transportation cost (to be minimized), subject to the demand-supply constraints. We are now ready to solve the problem using an Excel tool called Solver.48Location and Distribution (Henry C. Co)The “North

50、west Corner” SolutionStarting from cell B20 (the “northwest corner”), let us find out how many units we can allocate from Tulsa to Minneapolis. Tulsa has 77 units available and Minneapolis needs 52 units. Suppose we allocated 52 from Tulsa, to satisfy the demand of Minneapolis. The leaves Tulsa with

51、 a remaining capacity of 77-52=25 units. Allocate the remaining 25 units from Tulsa to Salina (cell C20). Salina has a demand of 99 units. With 25 units from Tulsa, Salina still needs 74 units. Allocate 45 units from the next origin Oklahoma. This will exhaust the supply of Oklahoma. The remaining 2

52、9 units will come from Denver. Etc., etc.49Location and Distribution (Henry C. Co)SolverStep 7 Click on “Tool”, and choose “Solver” in the pull-down menu. You should see this:Step 8: In the Tool-Solver menu, enter the following (the “Set Target Cell” is $G$28, the grand total cost):By changing cells

Co)Adding ConstraintsStep 9: Add the following constraints (one at a time):Since total capacity exceeds demand, the shipment from each

54、 source should be less than or equal to its capacity: G20:G25 H20:H25, i.e. Since total demand is less than total capacity, the total shipment to each destination should be equal to its demand, B26:F26 = B27:F27 51Location and Distribution (Henry C.

56、ilable. Originally, the sum of supply was 423.With Omaha gone, the total supply is now 351 units. Since total demand is 370 units, 19 (=370-351) units of demand will not be satisfied. Replace Omaha by “Lost Sales,” with capacity equal to the demand not satisfied, i.e., 19 units. Suppose the unit cos

57、t of unsatisfied demand is $30 for the restaurants in Salina and Kansas, and $20 for the other locations. 55Location and Distribution (Henry C.
