Networking facilities for trade Is the long-term trend of modern retail business. Unreasonable placement of outlets could lead to big financial losses. As a rule the complexity of the problem of optimal placement associated with lack of market information and a variety of different factors influencing the choice of location. This article presents the review and classification of the best known methods of optimal placement of business objects. We consider such methods of solving optimization problems as mathematical and statistical, quantitative methods and methods borrowed from other sciences. Particular attention is paid to quantitative research methods of solving of the placement problem, which are based on mathematical economic development and economic and statistical methods and minimize subjectivity and increase the validity and effectiveness of the decision on placing the object of business. We give a brief description and link to each other, identify the main strengths and weaknesses, and define the boundaries of applicability of the factors involved in each method. There is no single approach to classification and formalization of placement methods of business systems. It is concluded that none of these methods is not universal and does not meet all requirements and demands of the market. We identify the need to develop integrated approaches, new methods and models which include interrelated calculations by several methods.
