Rauschenberg Manufacturing is investigating which locations would best position its new plant relative to three important customers (located in cities A, B, and C). As shown in the table below, all three customers require multiple daily deliveries. Management limited the search for this plant to those three locations and compiled the following information: Location Coordinates (miles) Deliveries per day A (300,300) (500,200) (300,200) 3 В 4 a. Which of these three locations yields the smallest load-distance score, based on Euclidean distances? Location V yields the smallest load-distance score of : (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.) b. Which of these locations is best, based on rectilinear distances? Location V is the best, yielding a load-distance score of (Enter your response as a whole number.) c. What are the coordinates of the center of gravity? The center of gravity is x miles, y miles.

Prescott Industries transports sand and stone extracted fromits open-pit mines located in Odessa and Bryan to its con-crete block manufacturing facilities in Abilene, Tyler, and SanAngelo. For the capacities, locations, and shipment costs pertruckload shown in the Figure 13.13, determine the shippingpattern that will minimize transportation costs. What are theestimated transportation costs associated with this optimalallocation pattern?
A toy manufacturer produces toys in five locations throughout the country. Raw materials (primarily barrels of powdered plastic) will be shipped from a new, centralized warehouse whose location is to be determined. The monthly quantities to be shipped to each location are the same. A coordinate system has been established, and the coordinates of each location have been determined as shown. Determine the coordinates of the centralized warehouse.

A personal computer manufacturer plans to locate its assembly plant in Taiwan and to ship its computers back to the United States through either Los Angeles or San Francisco. It has distribution centers in Atlanta, New York, and Chicago and will ship to them from whichever city is chosen as the port of entry on the West Coast. Overall transportation cost is the only criterion for choosing the port. Use the load-distance model and the information in table below to select the more cost effective city. (Round all intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)
