Hello, thank you for your detailed explanations! What about if there are existing warehouses in the network, and you’re trying to solve for where the next warehouse should be?

Thanks so much for the video. Can you give me a hint how to apply the video to solve my problem? We have a headquarters' location fixed and we want to find optimal location for several branches.

If I was to hypothetically calculate the "cost" of said DC(s) I can use a cost per mile value on top of the distance × #shipments?

Also, I could extrapolate this out to 3, 4, 5, DCs by updating new min distance columns, and changing the solver for new line of lat/long?
