Regional distribution centre report

IntroductionMy company that I work for is currently expanding and has recently opened about(prenominal) new superstores on the outskirts of large urban areas. The existing distribution centers, which supply stores, are finding it ticklish to meet the increased demand. So, the company has decided to set up a new distribution nitty-gritty in an area, which has a mixture of old supermarkets and new superstores.MileageMileage is one of the most substantial factors on this survey and research that I am doing and Prime thing that I have to determine for is how far it is from the motorways and the supermarkets. In my opinion fixing C has got the best fuel consumption rate and the one with the least mileage is D.AccessibilityAccessibility is not as important as mileage but it is still a convenient factor of the research and has to be considered very deeply. If the place has flock of doors and garages, then it would be more convenient than a store with less doors and garages for the trucks or lorries to take our stock to the superstore. The best one once again is view C and the worst one again is location D. But we have to remember that some locations are better at other things than at some things.Suitable LandLand is bouncy for the company because we need lots of space for our staff to store the products from our regional distribution centre.6 acres would be good enough for us. The location that strike me first location A, as it has 20 acres of basis which is over three times more of what we actually wanted. And the worst one was location C. In the factors higher up us, it was the best and now it is the worst for the land. And not everything can be perfect, you cant have a location which scores five out of five for everything. toll Of LandNow we are coming to the financial side of the operation and it is the thing that we have to consider before buying the location that we decide. Price is an coarse factor for everything not just regional distribution centers. The best priced location was location D, this was the location which had scored woeful ratings in all the other factors and now has appeared top for the price. And the worst priced location was location C. This location did in reality well with the mileage and the accessibility but is very pricey. It would not be a good radical to buy this location if the company does not have a large budget.Setting Up CostWell, some locations do not need much work but some do and this could cost the company quite a bit. The location that really well was location E which has not on the dot had that good factors in it. And the location that has done really badly or the worst was location B, this location is out of the picture as it was not good use to us.Labour ForceWhere ever a business moves and there are job opportunities concourse would try really hard to get one so thats why we are considering to move to a place where there is a high unemployment and, the people should be skilled or have had experiences and we should be able to offer them low salaries. If we can defy this happen, this could have us thousands of pounds every year. The location that has a good labour force is location D. This is rightfully the best location so I am considering of buying this. And the location that has done not so well in this important category was location A.EvaluationIn my opinion and my research I think that Location C is the best location because the cost of the land is really good, there is plenty of cheap labour, it scored top on the environmental factors and it almost came top in setting up. But 2 main things that it lacks is the mileage as it is very far from motorways and the accessibility is not good at all.
