Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The center-of-gravity method assumes that distribution costs are a linear function of distance and quantity shipped. The method seeks to find the optimal location for a distribution center by minimizing the total cost of transportation and warehousing based on the location of demand points and the cost of moving goods to and from the proposed location. Weight and speed are not considered in this method.
