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
(300,100)
4
В
(400,200)
8
(200,400)
6
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
