CHAPTER 1 - Introduction to Facility Design
1.4 Solutions
1. This is an open-ended question and could be given as a mini-project for students.
2. Design problems are those that have a longer time span, typically three to five years or more,
whereas planning problems have a shorter time span. Students will come up with a long list
of design and planning problems and Figure 1.1 should be of some help. Although it is
desirable to solve the two problems simultaneously, so that a solution satisfies design and
operational performance measures, doing so makes the problem intractable and hard to solve.

, CHAPTER 3 – Logistics and Location Models
3.11 Solutions
1. As indicated in Section 3.1 as well as Chapter 1, facility location must be addressed in the
very early stages of facility design – as soon as the products to be produced and markets to be
served have been identified.
2. Facility location is a sub-problem in logistics management. As defined in Section 3.1, logistics
management covers not only location, allocation, but also the distribution methods, costs, and
a number of other logistics related factors.
3. It should serve the needs of the company, minimize costs, must mesh well with the existing
network of supply chain of suppliers, plants and customers, etc. This is a good question for
in-class discussion.
4. See Section 3.3.
5. See Section 3.3.
6. See Table 3.1.
7. This is an interesting project for undergraduate students that could be supplemented with in-
PR
class discussion.
