Location and Utilization Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Changing consumer requirements for expedited delivery<\/em><\/a> caused a shift in warehousing operations<\/em><\/a>, including location<\/em><\/a> and utilization<\/em><\/a> to support transport<\/em><\/a> to both brick-and-mortar locations as well as consumers. The tight turnaround times for stocked products necessitates vehicle and truck ingress\/egress<\/em><\/a> and loading which means focusing on local zoning<\/em><\/a> requirements, traffic studies<\/em><\/a>, and public outcry<\/em><\/a>, which may delay<\/em><\/a> the project. Warehouses that support multiple customers<\/em><\/a> add another level of complexity to the scenario. Major cities and small towns often react to an increase in warehouses<\/em><\/a> and associated increased traffic flow. Some locations provide tax breaks<\/em><\/a> to attract warehouses for long-term tax base and employment<\/em><\/a> opportunities. The background readings provide an overview of developments in warehouse location selection.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 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\u2019s 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.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Comparison of Two Choices: Location Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n Property Search<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 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<\/em><\/a> or search \u201ccommercial properties listing\u201d and major real estate companies will have links for commercial property listings.<\/p>\n Municipality and County\u2019s Economic Development<\/strong><\/p>\n Location Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n Appendices<\/strong><\/p>\n Screenshot and paste property #1 information (include page hyperlink).<\/p>\n Screenshot and paste property #2 information (include page hyperlink).<\/p>\n Module 1 SLP Background Readings<\/strong><\/p>\n 1.5 Million Packages a Day: The Internet Brings Chaos to N.Y.
