    How does a raw material’s status as pure, weight-losing, or weight-gaining influence the facility location decision? A pure raw material is one that loses no weight in manufacturing and, because of this, the processing point can be anywhere, near the raw material source and the market. Weight-losing products lose weight during processing; the processing point should be near their source in order to avoid payment of unnecessary transportation charges. Weight-gaining products gain weight during processing; the processing point should be close to the market.…

Ultimately for any organization, the main goal is to increase profits. Improving the supply chain is one way to reach this goal. According to Schneider, "When companies integrate their supply management and logistics activities across multiple participants in a particular product 's supply chain, the job of managing that integration is called supply chain management. The ultimate goal is to achieve a higher-quality or lower-cost product at the end of the chain" (Schneider, 2004, p. 228). Lets attempt to show how Direct Buy, a furniture company, and Verizon Wireless, a cellular service company has achieved that goal.…
