A company that produces modular buildings encounters spatial distress and poor job allocation in three different locations, so transport costs are high. The company decided to merge production processes into one location, which requires optimization of jobs and a calculation of the profitability of the investment. With the help of Schmigall's modified triangular method, we established a suboptimal positioning. For the optimization of jobs, we selected a representative product and determined the material flows for it. Then we have made a distribution of the new condition and placed it in the new production plant. Then we have assessed the new distances of transport routes and costs and compared them with existing ones. We realized that with suboptimal job placement, we made significant changes in the area of transport routes and the costs involved in transport. We also made a calculation of profitability and economy and estimated that the investment is profitable and economical.
