Location
and Utilization Considerations
Changing consumer requirements
for expedited delivery caused a shift in warehousing operations, including location and utilization to support transport to both brick-and-mortar locations as well as
consumers. The tight turnaround times for stocked products necessitates vehicle
and truck ingress/egress and loading which means focusing on local zoning requirements, traffic studies, and public outcry, which may delay the
project. Warehouses that support multiple customers add another level of complexity to the scenario.
Major cities and small towns often react to an increase in warehouses and associated increased traffic flow. Some
locations provide tax breaks to attract warehouses for long-term tax base
and employment opportunities. The background readings provide an
overview of developments in warehouse location selection.
SLP Assignment
Selecting the location of a
warehouse or distribution center is crucial and depends on many factors,
including proximity to transportation hubs, area zoning, available workforce,
and connection with the company’s logistics network. For this SLP, your task is
to research an area that a company has chosen for its distribution center for
non-perishable items. NOTE: Select an area in the U.S. with which you have familiarity.
Comparison
of Two Choices: Location Summary
- Provide an overview of the company’s proposed distribution center:
size, type of product(s) to be accommodated (based on the scenario you are
creating).
- Specify the chosen general location (based on the scenario you are
creating).
- Provide pertinent Census data (don’t copy tables); enter two possible municipalities and
county/counties into the search and the database will list the most recent
government data for each in tabular format.
- Compare the choices.
The written portion of the section will be one-half page in length (tabular data not included in page count).
Property
Search
Look for two available properties:
either vacant land, warehouse space, or a building that can be converted to a
warehouse/distribution facility in two different cities in the chosen area.
There are multiple companies that list commercial properties. Use LoopNet or search “commercial properties listing” and major
real estate companies will have links for commercial property listings.
- Explain how each property matches requirements enumerated in the
first section.
- Research the area and discuss proximity
to applicable transportation hubs (air, rail, port, highways).
This portion of the paper will be one-half page in length.
Municipality
and County’s Economic Development
- Go to each municipality’s official website and search for incentives,
programs, or tools available for new businesses. Explain what is available
to make the property appealing.
- Go to each county website and search for
incentives, programs, or tools available for new businesses. Explain what
is available to make the property appealing.
This portion of the paper will be one-half page in length.
Location
Choice
- Based on the research, which property
will work best for the proposed distribution center?
This portion of the paper will be ¾–1 page in length.
