thx god u are my hero I started my research about 1 month ago and I was stuck about how to calculate with this method now u solved my problem in 5.12 minute.
Thanks for the explanation, very clear! My question is how would we calculate more than one center of gravity at once (e.g., adding two Distribution Centers to the network)?
Hi Armando, That's a good question, but the centre of gravity model is not intended to be used for more than one centre of gravity (which would be like having two suns in the solar system!). If you're looking to add two distribution centres to a network, presumably each is intended to support a specific geographic region so I think you would want to look at the entire network and decide which ones to group together (such as northern region and southern region) and then use the model to find the centre of gravity for those regions separately. Each DC could conceivably act as a backup for the other region incase something happens to one (say it blows up or something), but it won't be in an optical location. Mark
Hi Thai Thi, I'm not sure if you mean the coordinates of the 5 locations provided or the centre of gravity. The X and Y coordinates for each point would be provided for you and would be the centre of each points on the graph.
@@The_Business_Doctor Hi Sir, at Norwood, for example, x and y coordinates are 15.0 , 6.3. How do you get it. Can you show me the method to find out X and Y exactly. Thank you.
thank you so much! im from Belarus, this video is helpful worldwide haha
You’re welcome! Operations management is international!

Great news!
Great explanation i understood
Thank you!
Thanks a lot for this.
You’re welcome!
Nice, no ads ❤❤
Glad you like it!
@@The_Business_Doctor thanks a lot sir. Helped me at the last moment for my exam ❤️❤️
GREAT VIDEO!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Great explanation
Thanks very much!
👏👏 Good job done
Thank you 😁
Amazing video cheers pal
Thanks!
So helpful!!!
I'm glad!!

Why have you stopped making Videos? you are the best Professor.
No time!! I’ve been pretty busy these days and post new videos when I can
Great Video ❤🎉
Thank you!
Just a quick question. If they need to used this method to find two cities based on the original dataset, how should I do it?
You could overlay a 10x10 grid on a map from Google maps
Hi Sir. Can you show me how to find out location X, Y of each point. Thank you.

@@thaithilinh972 They are given as part of the problem data, you don't figure them out
@@The_Business_Doctor Thank you Sir, I was also supposed to ask this. However, in reality, how do managers get these numbers?
Cracking
Is that a good thing??
