BUSINESS LOCATION MODELING |
|
|
|
All aspects of a business exist at locations. Location analysis is a technique for discovering, assessing and specifying the optimal placement of an organization’s people, information, activities, and materials. Location models are key in performing location analysis by providing a well-documented common vision of current and desired location arrangements.
Location analysis is often overlooked when redeveloping business processes or creating and implementing new applications.
Yet, location analysis has proven to be very useful in determining: - How locations can best serve customers.
- If and when processes, objects, and/or people should be relocated.
- Natural implementation breaks (based on location) to minimize interface costs.
- How to better transport data, materials, and other content.
- How optimizing around locations can enhance customer service and response time
