CREATIVE THINKING
Plant location or the facilities location problem is an important strategic level decisionmaking for an organization. One of the key features of a conversion process (manufacturing
system) is the efficiency with which the products (services) are transferred to the customers.
This fact will include the determination of where to place the plant or facility. The selection of
location is a key-decision as large investment is made in building plant and machinery. It is not
advisable or not possible to change the location very often. So, an improper location of plant
may lead to waste of all the investments made in building and machinery, equipment. Before a
location for a plant is selected, long range forecasts should be made anticipating future needs
of the company. The plant location should be based on the company’s expansion plan and
policy, diversification plan for the products, changing market conditions, the changing sources
of raw materials and many other factors that influence the choice of the location decision. The
purpose of the location study is to find an optimum location one that will result in the greatest
advantage to the organization.
The need for selecting a suitable location arises because of three situations.
I. When starting a new organization, i.e., location choice for the first time. (3 Marks)
II. In case of existing organization.

III. In case of Global Location.
