A decision aid in warehouse site selection

Article Abstract:

Warehouse site selection is a complex process which, nevertheless, is essential to an effective distribution plan within the bigger framework of a logistics management scheme. Because of its advantage over traditional methods, a particular warehouse site selection scheme that uses an analytic hierarchy process-based method is favored. Its main advantage lies in the ability to consider both tangible and intangible determinants.
