OPTIMAL WOOL FLOWS FOR MINIMIZATION OF TRANSPORT COSTS

Warren Thomas Dent

Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1966, vol. 10, issue 2, 16

Abstract: Movements of wool from grower to wool store in Queensland, N.S.W., Victoria, and South Australia are affected by differing State legislation and Section 92 of the Australian Constitution. Taking various arrangements within each State into account, average wool transport costs from wool production areas to selling centres are found. A linear programming technique is then applied to produce an optimal pattern of wool flows minimizing transport costs for all growers.
