Site Selection is the practice of choosing a new facility location. It involves measuring the needs of a new project against the merits of potential locations. The practice became popularized during the 20th century, as operations of many organizations expanded to new geographies on a national and international scale.
Site Selection is a significant decision for any organization. Employing a formalized selection method aids in eliminating sentiment in the concluding decision. The orderly selection procedure is also valuable in conveying to all involved, the ultimate decision.
Selection criteria and their priority should be agreed to in advance for removal of any partiality from the Site Selection process.
5 Cs of Site Selection give out criteria which enables selection of sites in general and particularly for R&D, Design, and Engineering sites, especially in emerging markets.
The selection process consists of discovery of various potentially viable sites based on the priority listing of the above factors.
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT emphasizes the importance of a structured approach to site selection, highlighting the 5 Cs: Cost, Capacity, Capability, Communications, and Culture. Each factor is dissected to provide a comprehensive understanding of its impact on the decision-making process. For instance, the Cost factor not only considers immediate expenses, but also the long-term financial implications, including infrastructure and IT costs. Capacity evaluates the availability of skilled labor and the ability of educational institutions to meet workforce demands, crucial for sustaining operations.
Capability focuses on the site's ability to provide necessary infrastructure and specialized skills, while Communications ensures seamless integration into the global network. Culture assesses the site's attractiveness to talent, considering factors like local amenities and lifestyle compatibility. The document also includes templates to facilitate the site selection process, enabling you to tailor the criteria to your specific needs. This resource is indispensable for executives aiming to make informed, strategic decisions in site selection.

This PPT slide outlines the "5 Cs of Site Selection," a framework designed for organizations to evaluate critical factors when choosing locations, particularly in sectors like R&D, Design, and Engineering. The 5 factors highlighted are Culture, Cost, Capacity, Capability, and Communications. Each of these elements plays a vital role in determining the suitability of a site for business operations.
The visual representation of the 5 Cs in a pentagon suggests an interconnectedness among these factors. This implies that while each factor is important on its own, their combined influence is essential for effective site selection. The emphasis on prioritizing these factors indicates that organizations should assess which elements are most relevant to their specific needs and adjust their decision-making processes accordingly.
The text also stresses the importance of looking ahead. Companies are advised to consider not just the current state of a potential site, but also its projected characteristics over the next 3 to 5 years. This forward-looking approach is crucial in a rapidly changing business environment, especially in emerging markets where conditions can fluctuate significantly.
The slide serves as a guide for decision-makers, urging them to adopt a holistic view when evaluating potential sites. By doing so, organizations can better align their strategic objectives with the operational realities of their chosen locations. This framework is particularly relevant for executives who need to make informed choices that will impact long-term growth and sustainability.
This PPT slide focuses on the second factor of the 5 Cs framework, specifically addressing "Capacity," which pertains to the availability of qualified skills at a proposed site. The overview clarifies that capacity is crucial when a company anticipates the need for rapid scaling of its operations.
The details section elaborates on several key points. First, it highlights the significance of educational institutions in producing individuals with the necessary skills. A low number of such institutions can create challenges, especially when there is an urgent demand for personnel. This suggests that potential customers should evaluate the educational landscape of a location before making decisions.
Next, the slide emphasizes the importance of the number of qualified individuals produced over time. This metric serves as an indicator of how well these institutions can meet workforce demands. Companies should consider not just the current availability of talent, but also the future pipeline.
The slide also mentions that some cities with strong technical capacity may be more cost-effective than others. This insight could influence site selection by balancing skill availability with operational costs.
Lastly, it notes that certain cities are intentionally developed to attract large multinationals, indicating a strategic approach to workforce development. This could be a deciding factor for companies looking to establish a presence in a region. Overall, the slide provides a comprehensive overview of how capacity can impact site selection, urging potential customers to consider these factors carefully.
This PPT slide focuses on the "Cost" factor within the 5 Cs of site selection, emphasizing its complexity and the necessity of considering various elements beyond just immediate expenses. It opens with a clear assertion that while cost is a crucial consideration, it should not dominate the decision-making process. The local standard of living and its potential changes are highlighted as important factors that need to be integrated into the overall assessment.
In the "Details" section, specific costs associated with site setup are outlined. These include expenses related to land acquisition, office equipment, communication infrastructure, and operational costs. The slide also mentions IT infrastructure, wages, and training costs, suggesting a comprehensive view of the financial implications involved in establishing a site.
A critical insight is provided regarding the pitfalls of focusing solely on cost. Companies that prioritize this factor may overlook essential requirements, leading to higher-than-anticipated expenses. This point serves as a cautionary note for decision-makers who might be tempted to choose locations based purely on short-term financial metrics.
Furthermore, the slide discusses the trend of companies opting for emerging market cities due to their lower initial costs. However, it warns that these companies often neglect to account for future increases in the cost of living and corresponding wage adjustments. This oversight can result in unexpected financial burdens down the line.
Overall, the slide effectively communicates that a nuanced understanding of costs, including future implications, is vital for informed site selection. It encourages a broader perspective that incorporates both immediate and long-term financial considerations.
