A

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The center of gravity for a new facility is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: Plant location means to choice the particular region for setting up a business. Choosing a place for plant is most essential in order to get maximum profit. So it is very crucial to identify an ideal place, where all the capital is brought together for progress of business.

A larger and more modern main post office is to be constructed at a new location in Davis, California. Growing suburbs caused a shift in the population density from where it was 40 years ago, when the current facility was built. Annette Werk, the postmaster, asked her assistants to draw a grid map of the seven points where mail is picked up and delivered in bulk. The coordinates and trips per day to and from the seven mail source points and the current main post office, M, are shown in the following table. M will continue to act as a mail source point after relocation. Mail Source Point Round trips per day x, y, Coordinates (miles) 1 8 2 2 1 6 3 4 6 7 M 2 4 8 The center of gravity "X" coordinate = 10 The center of gravity "Y" coordinate = 6 (11,5) (15,5) (1, 13) (2, 1) (4, 14) (16, 12) (15,5) (14,2) a.

A larger and more modern post office is to be constructed at a new location in Sally Spring Georgia. Growing suburbs caused a shift in the population density from where it was 30 years ago when the current facility was built. Andy Browne, the postmaster asked his assistants to draw a grid map of the seven points where mail is picked up and delivered in bulk. The coordinates and trips per day to and from the seven mail source points and the current main post office are shown in the table below. Calculate the centre of gravity as a possible location for the new facility.
