Executive Summary
Location analysis refers to the technique that is used to discover, assess and specify the best possible placement of an organization’s materials, activities, information, and people. In this report, the location analysis technique of Weighted Centre-of-Gravity has been used in calculating the weighted average location of Midwest Beer’s new warehouse in the suburbs of Chicago. The calculations reveal that South Location has a lower weighted average location than West Location. Thus, it is recommended that Midwest Beer should locate the new warehouse in the Chicago suburbs in the South Location. The factors that should be taken into consideration for the expansion location in the next city include accessibility, competition, security, and skill base in the area. The four cities of Madison, Indianapolis, Milwaukee and St Louis can be compared based on the factors above to determine the next city for expanding into. The city that performs the best overall should be selected as the next city.
