Using customers as a sanity check in the site-selection process
Article Abstract:
The incorporation of customer opinions into the site selection process could help companies identify ideal locations and prevent costly mistakes which arise from location unsuitability to customer's needs. Through a survey, companies seeking to relocate can identify site attractions for customers, including accessibility to major thoroughfares, travel costs, facility operation and maintenance initiatives. The research also allows companies to either reinforce the validity of decisions or enhance a particular site to suit customer requirements.
