Allocation of Distribution Warehouse Using Selected Geometric Methods

Abstract:

Strategic location of the distribution warehouse is a fundamental role of the strategic business management. The article shows an example of allocation calculations for distribution warehouse using three methods such as – method of axial distance, method of quadratic distance and Cooper’s Iterative Method based on WGS 84 coordinate system. In the final part of the article there are calculated and compared results of an objective function for space allocation.
