How do quality-of-life factors affect facility locations?

Answer 1

Logistical drivers of supply chain require the facility to be at certain distance inorder to be easy for access. The logistical performance will be smooth only when the faciltiy is easily accessible from the customer and supplier . Thus logistical drivers determinewhere the faciltiy must be located . When the logistical performance is satisfactory it means that the location is good for the business. The location of the facility is also determined by the nature of work done in the faciltiy, gender of the employees working, environement in which the faciltiy needs to be located etc., Hence factors of life also decide the location of the faciltiy .
