Topic: Application of the load-distance method
Resumen:
It is a mathematical model used to evaluate locations based on
proximity factors. The goal is to select a location that
minimize the sum of the charges by the distance the charge travels. The time
it can be used instead of distance.
Various location factors are directly related to distance: the

to capture, the proximity to suppliers and resources, and the proximity to others

Several location factors are directly related to the distance: proximity to
markets, the average customers who want to capture, proximity to suppliers
and resources, and proximity to other company facilities distance.
To calculate the score load away from a potential location, any distance
measurement is used and the charges flowing to and from the facility by the
respective distances traveled multiplied. The objective is to find an acceptable
calculation installation location that minimizes the score.
The center of gravity is a method that is complemented by the decision point.

plant more accurately, in an effort to minimize the distances covered
for distribution and provisioning.
Introduction:
The distance load score calculation is used to determine the score.

The center of gravity is a method that complements the point of

We must take into account several location factors that are related
directly with the distance: the proximity to the markets, the distance
average of the customers to be attracted, the proximity to the suppliers and
the resources, and the proximity to other company facilities
Calculation of the score load distance
To calculate the distance load score of a potential location, the following is used
any distance measurement and the charges that flow to and from are multiplied
the installation for the respective distances traveled (Carro & González,
2012).
The straight-line distance can be used, Distribution of processes, as a
approach to distance, using x and y coordinates:
Travel time
Real mileage
Straight-line distances (Krajewski, 2007).
The scoring formula Id is:
Id= ∑

Charges can be expressed as:
The number of potential clients that need a physical presence of a
installation
They can be in tons or in number of trips per week
Scoring is the sum of the products of charge times distance.
The objective of the calculation is to find an acceptable location for the facility.
that minimizes the score (Krajewski, 2007).
Center of gravity
It consists of testing different locations with the load model.

locations in the selected target area, using the method of
load-distance (Krajewski, 2007).
The first step is to determine the x and y coordinates of different
locations, whether as the longitude and latitude of the locations, or creating
a grid (x,y). The x-coordinate of the center of gravity is designated
how x* y is multiplying the x coordinate of each point (already
the length of the location or the x coordinate on a grid) by its
respective load, then summing these products, and dividing the result
between the sum of the charges. The y-coordinate of the center of gravity (whether it is the
latitude or the y coordinate in a grid), designated as y*, is found
in the same way (Krajewski, 2007). The corresponding formulas are:
Where:
x ¿=X coordinate of the center of gravity
y¿ = Y coordinate of the center of gravity
l i=Cargas (# de clientes, toneladas, # de viajes)
x I=length
y I=latitude
Decision point
It works with two variables, latitude and longitude, according to the meridian of
Greenwich, and the equinoctial line or Equator, the coordinates are obtained
previously, by calculating the center of gravity with that, it helps to
the decision-making regarding the location of a plant
(Krajewski, 2007).

Application exercise.
A manufacturing company needs to locate a facility among its
plants. Therefore, it requires you to use the load-distance method to
recommend where to locate the company. The coordinates and the consumption of the
the different plants are the following:

Conclusions and Recommendations:
The aim is to minimize the travel time or distance between two points.
to use more time and have less distance to cover.
To implement a company or take it somewhere, one must always carry out
the calculations indicated to find a better location and avoid time
deaths or situations that cause losses to the company.
