You can use it to find "new" facilities to serve a set of given demand. You can load in the existing demand locations as demand points, existing facilities as "required" facilities and a set of points that you can open new or "candidate" facilities and solve solve for how many you want. Their are numerous options and goals you can set. I suggest you run through the new tutorial for location-allocation and read up on the help to use this new solver effectively.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Jay Sandhu</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:41:40 GMT JaySandhu 2010-06-09T17:41:40Z make network analyst propose new (not existing) facilities? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/make-network-analyst-propose-new-not-existing/m-p/694345#M6706 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm quite new to network analyst.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have a model with some thousands demand points and about 15 facilities.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The model finds out how many % of the demand points that can reach a facility in X minutes.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>But I want to know if network analyst can suggest new points as proposed facilities which meet the demands I set.
