- A dental care facility location analysis has been narrowed down to two locations in Alexandria; Stanley and Camp-Cesar. The main factors in the decision will be the supply of dental clinic raw materials, which has a weight of 0.50, transportation cost, which has a weight of 0.40, and labor cost, which has a weight of 0.10. The scores for raw materials, transportation, and labor are for Stanley 60, 80, and 70, respectively; for Camp-Cesar 70, 50, and 90, respectively. Given this information and a minimum acceptable composite score of 75, we can say that the facility OM should: A. be indifferent between these locationsB. choose StanleyC. choose Camp-CesarD. reject both locationsE. build a dental care facility in both districts.Why? – Comment to justify your (the OM) decision.arrow_forwardSap Manufacturing, a manufacturing company that manufactures football jerseys and located in Port Antonio, Jamaica, is preparing to build a new plant.
