- Considerable care must be exercised in selecting the plant site, and many different
factors must be considered.
- Primarily, the plant should be located where the minimum cost of production and
distribution can be obtained, but other factors, such as room for expansion and safe
living conditions for plant operation as well as the surrounding community, are also
important
The major factors in the selection of most plant
sites are:
Marketing Area
Raw Materials
Transportation Facilities
Availability of Labors
Water supply
Energy Availability (power and fuel)
Climate

RAW MATERIALS: The availability and price of suitable raw materials will often
determine the site location. Plants that produced bulk chemicals are best located close to
the source of the major raw material, as long as the cost of shipping product are not
greater than the cost of shipping feed.
CLIMATE: With the developments in the field of heating, ventilating and air-
conditioning, climate of the region does not present much problem. Of course, control
the climate needs money
