A location analysis for Temponi Controls, a small manufacturer of parts for high-technology cable systems, has been narrowed down to four locations. Temponi will need to train assemblers, testers, and robotics maintainers in local training centers. Cecilia Temponi, the president, has asked each potential site to offer training programs, tax breaks, and other industrial incentives. The critical factors, their weights, and the ratings for each location are shown in Problem 8.9, page 338.

1.Compute the composite (weighted average) rating for each location..

2.Which site would you choose?.

3.Would you reach the same conclusion if the weights for operating cost and labor cost were reversed? Recompute as necessary and explain.
