Description

Site selection decisions certainly must be classified among the most common decisions made. Every time a family selects· a new home another site selection decision has been made.and the process used closely parallels that used in selecting an industrial site with one major difference. The wife (I'll speak for myself) dictates the criteria based on intuition and many other nonscientific factors and a home site is selected which satisfies these criteria. The development of criteria for industrial sites is normally more of a team effort and hopefully more scientific.

Not all the credit for upgrading the site selection process can be given the large industrial organizations or the consulting firms. The heart of American business, the commercial segment of our economy, has done an outstanding job developing scientific approaches to site selections. The motivation to do an outstanding job of site selection is obvious, profit or lack of profit will have an earlier and more profound impact on small business.
