LOCATION SELECTION FOR THE FURNITURE INDUSTRY BY USING A GOAL PROGRAMMING MODEL

The location of a facility plays a significant role in minimizing costs and maximizing the utilization of resources. Therefore, in this study, a goal programming model was proposed to determine an appropriate location for the furniture industry. Seven provinces in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey were considered as candidate places. The objectives of this study were identified as follows: proximity to raw materials, the number of qualified people, proximity to markets, population, and distances to other provinces in the region. The proposed model was solved using an optimization tool. The results demonstrated that Karabük was the best choice. Consequently, the model proposed in this study can be used as a guideline for furniture firms.
