Unit $9$ Assignment: Global Location Decisions

This assignment will assess your knowledge based on the following Outcome:

MT$433-5$: Analyze the role of customers and locations for effective supply chain networks.

Facility and partner location decisions depend on many factors, and customers play a significant role in this evaluation. To establish an effective supply chain network, a company may extend into areas that are closer to its customers, or use a location that provides certain advantages for its customers.

For this assignment, assume that your organization is going to expand globally and is evaluating locations to establish a new presence. If you cannot use your organization, use another whose supply chain you can research.
