Process Design for Digitally Assisted Location Selection for Sustainable Factories
摘要
Available locations for new factories and the suitability of these locations changes, especially due to climate change. Long-term consequences and high costs entailed by factory location selection become more difficult to predict. The decision process for factory location therefore becomes more complex, uncertain and time-consuming. We aim to develop a data-driven digital decision support application for factory location selection. This paper presents the process to be implemented in that system. We research and refine established processes to enable data-driven, objective and sustainable factory location selection. Finally, we give an outlook on the decision support system to be developed.
