Project 4-GIS & Transportation

Week 1-Prepare--Managing Sales Territories and Routes

This project is to show a hypothetical wine distributor known as Napa's Best and how sales territories may be divided equitably to three sales people within Napa County. The maps shown below are the initial preparation showing the number of households, total number of restaurants, liquor stores and the overall wine sales within the County per household. As one can see there is a higher concentration of restaurants and liquor stores around the Napa, CA  area but the restaurant, liquor and wine sales per household in the west-central portion of the county are high over a large geographical area. In the next phase of analysis it may become clearer on what the most equitable way to divide the territory is? However at this time, it appears that some equality will have to be given to divide the Napa City area amongst the sales people as the largest number of potential accounts (restaurants and liquor stores) are within this area. Guess we'll see!
