Abstract

This paper analyses methods used for the evaluation of sites as part of location strategies for corporations. Based on the available methods for site selection, which are pointed out, a comprehensive model for the analysis of manufacturing sites is developed and explained in detail. The internationally applicable model consists of ten phases. The application of common evaluation methods is explored and assessed. This paper is complemented by a separate paper (Part II), which will be published subsequently and will show the application of the methodology and prove its practicability through an international case study. It is the aim of these two papers to seek understanding of the challenges attached to site selection processes and, as a result thereof, achieve substantially improved results from future site selection projects or location strategies.
