ite location optimization within a supply chain framework requires a careful evaluation process that balances qualitative and quantitative factors to maximize customer service and decrease costs. Qualitative approach involves location decisions made at several levels, from global to regional to community to local (Collier & Evans, 2023, p. 172). At the global level, businesses weigh the benefits and drawbacks of locating facilities in their own country vs overseas, including product range, market potential, regulatory environment, production economics, and cost comparisons.
