Technological Institute of the Philippines
PLANT
LOCATION
SELECTION
CRITERIA FOR PLANT LOCATION

The selection for plant location is composed of several important factors that
are considered in the plant location evaluation. These are analyzed and graded
accordingly to conclude the location of the plant.
1. Raw Material Availability
The plant is producing ammonium sulfate which requires anhydrous
ammonia and sulfuric acid as the main raw materials. Its availability is
considered as an important factor prior to the overall costing, therefore, the
plant shall be accessible to the supplier of the raw materials. In considering
such advantages, this includes low cost of transportation and continuous
production. Also, sufficient supply of the raw materials at its reasonable price,
good quality, accurate amount or quantity and offers assortment shall be taken
into consideration.
AMSPC availed the services of Chemtech Philippines which is located
in Cebu, Philippines for the supply of sulfuric acid used in the production; it is
industrial grade which has 98% purity. The other raw material - anhydrous
ammonia will be imported from Saudi Basic Industries Corporate (SABIC) , the
primary supplier that AMSPC listed and an alternative supplier - Tanner
Industries Inc. in case of supply shortage from the primary source.
2. Transportation Facilities
The raw materials are transported from the main sources and being
distributed to the supplier, which can also affect the production, marketing, and
sales of AMSPC. The location that shall be considered should be close to the
major forms of transport. Road transport is being increasingly used and is
suitable for local distribution from a central warehouse. The national roads,
bridges, airports and other industrial transportation facilities should be ensured
to be in good condition. This can help to achieve smooth production and
distribution from time to time.
The raw materials used in the plant should be delivered to the facility
with proper storage that requires the purity according to the plant operation
standards. These can be possibly transported through shipping vessel and
transported to land through tank trucks/cars, cylinders, or drums.
3. Accessibility to the Target Market
The accessibility to the target market shall be considered in the site
selection. The target market of the company is mostly located in Metro Manila.
The distribution of product to the target market should be easy to transport in
order to have lower expenditures and transportation commodities. Thus, it is an
advantage to the buyers because of its accessibility.
4. Water Source Quality and Quantity

The plant uses large quantities of water for the whole production. Such
operations in the plant that requires water include steam generation used for
preheated air and as a secondary raw material in the granulator and mixing
tank; therefore, the location should be near to bodies of water. The location
must have sufficient supply of water in order to perform the operation
continuously. Sources include bodies of water such as a lake, river, bay, or deep
well. In cases of water shortage, alternative sources of water must be
considered.
5. Special Business Incentives
This refers to the various business incentives that might attract business
investors. This decreases the taxes and other production expenditures of the
company, which in turn affects the cost of the product and profitability if the
plant site chosen is not registered in PEZA, the company will have tax right
affront of the operation date. Hence, this should be given due consideration in
selecting the plant location.
6. Climatic Condition
The climate in a location affects the production such as the workers
mood, transport of raw materials and delivery of the product in which results
from a delay in its operation. Adverse climatic conditions at a site will increase
costs. A cold climate increased costs of necessity for construction of protective
shelters around the process equipment. When the climate is too hot, the workers
will have a hard time to perform several tasks assigned to them because they
can possibly get irritated easily. Rainy weather affects not only transportation
but also the quality of the product, the attitude of the employees and their
capacity.
7. Utility Cost and Availability
In the production and operation of the plant, electricity is needed.
Energy must be readily available for an alternative source to be considered in
the case of any power interruptions and emergencies. The plant uses high
technology equipment that requires process and instrumentation controls in
order to access and monitor the plants operating conditions. Therefore,
sufficient supply of electricity in the plant should be considered.
8. Waste Treatment Facility
Water is being consumed in many ways such as during the process or in
the lavatory. The plant location must have an adequate capacity and facilities
for correct waste disposal and water treatment facility to avoid water, air
pollution, and other forms of pollution. This is in compliance with the
government laws of environmental protection.
9. Construction cost
The construction cost includes the cost of the land, equipment, and the
building costs. It determines how much capital is needed for a certain plant.
10. Operating Labor
A successful corporation lies in its people. The plant must be located in
an area where a large number of workers are available. The workers should be
qualified to be production personnel, administrators, and sales and marketing
officers. By spending workforce and competent workers, it will ensure a
productive plant operation. Special training for the workers/employee should
also be implemented.

Analysis of the chosen location:

Based on the evaluation in Table 3.3.2, it shows that AMS Philippine Corporation prefers First Philippine Industrial
Park as the manufacturing plant location. The main raw materials can be easily accessible because the location has an excellent
transportation facility near the location. FPIP also offers integrated utilities and water supply inside the plant location that is
considered as an edge compared to the two other locations. In considering the cost of utilities, FPIP has the least cost in most
of the operation requirements needed.

Table 3.10 shows the tabulated considerations for getting the rank and
score for the attributes. Values equal to the worst score automatically rated as 0
and highest gaining score is rated as 1. With that, interpolation was done to get
the values of the middle scores. Based on the table, a triple tie resulted for
Transportation Access, Utility cost and availability, and Treatment facilities;
however, Transportation access has the highest level of importance that is why
it is considered as the top-prioritized attribute followed by Utility cost and
availability, Treatment facilities, Operating labor then Construction costs.
Transportation access includes the distance it takes for the supplier to

reach the location, the distance of the location to its target market, and the
distance of the nearest port to the location. Indeed, it is really needed to
prioritize this attribute because, in order for the business to generate profit, the
operations must be continuous and cannot tolerate any delay in the supply of
raw materials, as well as, the delivery of the finished goods to the market. In a
scale of 0 to 100, Transportation access is rated as 100 since it is the topprioritized criteria, attached on the appendices for Sensitivity analysis of plant
location were the calculations for the rate of the other criteria.

CHOICE: First Philippine Industrial Park, Sto. Tomas, Batangas

From the previous calculations of rates in terms of ranking, the overall score for the sensitivity analysis was
calculated. The highest gaining score for this section will be the chosen location for AMS Philippine Corporation. First, the
total rate was computed which is equal to 312.46. Next, by dividing the individual rate to the overall rate, the decision
maker got the values for the weights and listed it in percentage. Then, the product of the scores and the percentage weight
was calculated. Finally, the summation of the product from previous calculation was computed for the overall score.
The above table shows that First Philippine Industrial Park, Sto. Tomas, Batangas is the most favorable location
among the three which were presented.
Succeeding discussions include the sensitivity analysis of each criterion that shows how choice is affected by
changes made in the scoring. Single-factor as well as two-factor sensitivity analysis were the method used for the analysis.
From the result of the analysis made, by single-factor sensitivity analysis, the choice will still return to Location A
which is First Philippine Industrial Park, Sto. Tomas, Batangas. On the other hand, by using two-factor sensitivity analysis,

the choice made still return to location A except for Operating labor Utility cost and availability and Operating Labor
Treatment facility which at some point changed the choice to Location B which is Gateway Business Park, General Trias,
Cavite. Detailed discussions of the results of the sensitivity analysis were presented on the succeeding pages.
SINGLE-FACTOR SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

Single-factor sensitivity analysis determines how choice is affected by
changes made in scoring by altering one of the scores and holding the other
values the same. From this point onwards, the tables presented include the score
for the labeled criterion and the choice that corresponds to the score given that
is represented by (A) which corresponds to First Philippine Industrial Park, Sto.
Tomas, Batangas, (B) for Gateway Business Park, General Trias, Cavite, and
(C) for TECO Special Economic Zone, Mabalacat, Pampanga.

The base case for this attributes were 80 for Utility Costs and
Availability and 45.29 for Operating Labor. Results from the table suggest that
the choice will change to Location B, which corresponds to Gateway Business
Park, General Trias, Cavite if the scores for Operating Labor are altered from
65 to 100 and Utility cost and Availability from 0 to 40. This means that the
choice is sensitive to the changes made in said criteria; however, such case shall
not be accepted in a sense that, it considers a low score for Utility cost and
availability which is the next top prioritized criteria next to transportation
access. After conducting double-factor sensitivity analysis for Utility Cost and
Availability and Operating labor, majority of the choice for the best location for
AMSPC is in First Philippine Industrial Park, Sto. Tomas, Batangas.

TREATMENT
The base case for this attributes were 45.29 for Operating Labor and 60
for Treatment Facilities. Results from the table suggest that the choice will
change to Location B, which corresponds to Gateway Business Park, General
Trias, Cavite if the scores for Operating Labor are altered from 85 to 100 and
Treatment Facility from 0 to 15. This means that the choice is sensitive to the
changes made in said criteria; however, such case shall not be accepted in a
sense that, it considers a low score for Treatment facilities which is the third
prioritized criteria. After conducting double-factor sensitivity analysis for
Operating labor and Treatment facilities, the majority of the choice for the best
location for AMSPC is in First Philippine Industrial Park, Sto. Tomas,
Batangas.
