PART I - SITE SELECTION

In this part of the exercise, we would like to find a location for a new restaurant. The eight candidate sites are listed in Table 1 and are rated on a scale of 1-10 on four attributes (the higher the better). The weight of each attribute is given in parentheses.

1) What are the weighted average scores of each location? What decisions should be made?

Table 1

	Access	Proximity to Customers	Competition	Traffic
Site	(0.2)	(0.4)	(0.2)	(0.2)
Winterfell	7	4	5	9
Braavos	8	6	5	9
Dorne	3	9	2	8
Harrenhal	4	2	7	5
The Wall	8	6	4	6
King's Landing	1	4	3	7
Meereen	7	4	8	4
Qarth	5	1	6	2

2) Consider the same restaurant location selection problem. Now assume that we have data on the historical profitability of each location. This information is given in Table 2. Develop a regression-based system to predict the profitability of a new site, Riverrun, which has a rating of 5 in every category (Access, Proximity to Customers, Competition and Traffic). Use α = 0.10.

Table 2

	Access	Proximity to Customers	Competition	Traffic	Profit
Site
Winterfell	7	4	5	9	$464
Braavos	8	6	5	9	$509
Dorne	3	9	2	8	$283
Harrenhal	4	2	7	5	$535
The Wall	8	6	4	6	$417
King's Landing	1	4	3	7	$259
Meereen	7	4	8	4	$600
Qarth	5	1	6	2	$406

3) What other considerations do we have when we are deciding on the location of a new facility? How does the nature of the industry (service versus manufacturing) impact our decision?
