摘要: Location decisions for services tend to be an important part of the overall market strategy delivery products or customers efficiently and effectively. This paper focuses on optimal location prepaid vending point using concepts from Centre Gravity Euclidean Models. The method locates facility at minimizing average distance travelled transportation cost. approach is simple, since rate load (kWh) are only factors. model was used locate Abokobi, Ghana. station found have coordinates (0.5549, 0.7516)km in relation Abokobi Rural Bank which selected as reference point, a eventually minimize cost T= ¢7909.20 chosen point. 22 Joseph Ackora-Prah et al.
