Abstract: Abstract The planning of a new location belongs to the most complex and difficult planning problems in decision making. Moreover, it belongs to the strategic field of planning which deals with the most important and far-reaching decisions. While the problems considered in the previous chapters are mostly studied on an operative planning level, decisions about single locations or the structure of a supply chain are usually of long-term nature and may be crucial for the future survival and success of a company.
