Question
Part A Suppose you have aggregated customerdemand as:
Zone | Demand Location | Weight |
A | (4, 1) | 20 |
B | (-1, -5) | 15 |
C | (-3, 1) | 25 |
D | (-1, 5) | 30 |
You are considering two potential new facilities:
One at (1, 0)
One at (0, 1)
Which facility has the shortest sum of distances?
Find the Euclidean distance for each zone
Multiply that distance by its weight
Add all four weighted distances
Part B Using the previous aggregated customerdemand:
Zone | Demand Location | Weight |
A | (4, 1) | 20 |
B | (-1, -5) | 15 |
C | (-3, 1) | 25 |
D | (-1, 5) | 30 |
Again, we compare two potential new facilities:
One at (1, 0)
One at (0, 1)
Which facility has the shortest sum of distances?
Find the metropolitan distance for each zone
Multiply that distance by its weight
Add all four weighted distances
