Greenfield Analysis

Before you sign a lease or break ground, you need to know: where should our facilities be? Greenfield analysis answers that question by modeling the entire candidate space — not just the locations you already know about, but the full geographic landscape of where facilities could be placed.

Factible Tools runs greenfield analysis as an unconstrained optimization — given your demand points, transportation costs, and operational parameters, where would the network be most efficient?

What questions can you answer?

Where should we open our next distribution center? How many facilities do we actually need? If we were starting from scratch, what would our ideal network look like? How do greenfield scenarios compare to our existing footprint?

How it works

Define your demand locations, candidate sites, and cost parameters. The optimizer evaluates the full solution space and returns the optimal facility placement with cost and service comparisons across scenarios.
