Assume that you are the distribution manager for a large national retailer. You have been assigned the responsibility for identifying three potential locations for the construction of a warehouse and distribution center. The idea behind such a center is that the firm can use its enormous purchasing power to buy many products in specific quantities they need and then ship from the warehouse. The final location chosen will need an abundance of land. The warehouse itself, for example, will occupy more than four square acres of land. In addition, the location needs to be close to railroads and major highways; shipments will arrive by both rail and truck, although outbound shipments will be exclusively by truck. Other important variables are that land prices and the cost of living should be relatively low and that weather conditions should be mild (to minimize disruptions to shipments). Select three cities in the central or south-central area of the country based on the criteria outlined above.
