Determination of Realistic Facility Location in Bangladesh by using Center of Gravity Method

The facility location plays an important role in an industry's supply chain management to facilitate logistics management requirements, making the sourcing and distribution process smooth and fast. The purpose of this study is to determine the ideal place to determine the location of a garment industry. This research uses the Center of Gravity method to calculate the optimal location that will be considered. This method employs an (X-Y) coordinate system to cover the geographical map of the study areas and identifies the coordinates for the new facility's location. It endeavored to identify the optimal location for the garment industry in Bangladesh. It was pinpointed where the industry can obtain raw materials from various regions of the country and a market,…
