BADM 3380 Chapter Notes - Chapter 8-9: Austin Energy, Whataburger, Pdca
Document Summary
Badm 3380 chapter 8 and chapter 9 discussion questions. The location decision can impact the flexibility, capacity, and types of products/services offered. For example, the decision to move near a busy area with parent companies can bring customer foot traffic in the door for foot traffic and a strong customer base. Businesses can become flexible with spending when they have increased demographics of customers. Products are made at a faster rate, and they can even become more affordable to customers if the company is closer to the source of raw materials. Raw materials cost more when they have shipping costs added to them, in addition to the purchase price. Location decisions are often made when in a hurry, which is a huge mistake. More negative consequences such as lost supplies and lost moral happens when locations are moved too quickly. Flexibility can mean being able to convert location space into new purposes.
