A build-or-lease decision for warehouse is a crucial success factor for future product availability. The research deals with a logistics study for a crop science company. The need for it stems from increasing production volumes which cause storage space shortages and high warehouse utilizations. Before deciding for or against a warehouse, it has to be analyzed how much storage space is required and where the new warehouse should be located. The research evaluates if it is preferable to either build or lease a potential new warehouse. A comprehensive literature review reveals considerations for carrying out logistics studies by means of a potential analysis. A database serving as a material requirements planning tool calculates future storage requirements based on a worst case scenario. The optimal warehouse location was found by means of the heuristic center-of-gravity technique. A sensitivity analysis has been applied for the economic evaluation. The research concludes with a recommendation on the most economical alternative, which is to lease a warehouse with 1085 pallet places at the determined optimal location. The research considers static data only.
