Question:
Metro Supply decided to relocate its warehouse. Determine a good location for its new warehouse based on minimizing the number of miles traveled. The addresses and number of trips made to each of its customers last year can be found in the "Metro Supply.xls" file and displayed in a "Metro Supply.ptm" file (a MapPoint map) in myomlab. For your convenience, the center of gravity is displayed on the map. Enter the street address of your proposed warehouse location on the "Distribution Centers" worksheet in the "Metro Supply.xls" file and run the macro by selecting the button on the "Customers" worksheet to determine the total one-way mileage (which is essentially the load-distance score). You may wish to watch the Witherspoon Automotive video on myomlab before starting this problem.
