Abstract
This paper is based on a preceding paper that analysed methods used for the evaluation of sites as part of location strategies for corporations (‘International manufacturing site selection (Part I): A comprehensive site analysis model’). Therein a comprehensive model for the analysis of manufacturing sites was developed and explained in detail. The internationally applicable model consists of ten phases and requires stepwise application of specific evaluation models. This paper now aims to show application of the methodology on the basis of a case study. It is the aim of this paper to provide proof and support for the comprehensive methodology, and to seek understanding of the challenges attached to site selection processes.
