Abstract EN

This paper examines the problem of locating a new facility amongst existing facilities when distances are rectilinear and the axes of the system may be rotated.

Following a result by Wesolowsky, it is shown that only a finite number of angles of rotation needs to be considered to find the optimal location of the new facility.

A worked example is solved to illustrate a procedure for exploiting this property.
