This method merely indicates the ideal location in the grid-map that would ensure that the weighted distances
travelled on the whole is minimum.

Calculate (X * W) for each existing demand/supply point ,then sum up all the values and divide it by sum of weights at each demand point.
Calculate (X * W) for each existing demand/supply point ,then sum up all the values and divide it by sum of weights at each demand point.
Example of centre of gravity method :

Load- Distance methodLoad- Distance methodAn objective measure of total load distance for each of
potential site and choosing the best load distance among each of the alternative sites and existing demand/supply
points will help the location planner to an appropriate location for proposed facility.

Example of load-Distance method : Calculate Distance between each existing demand / supply point
(i) and the candidate / site (j) for proposed facility. Compute (load * Distance ) for each site.
