Abstract: The purpose of this study is to select the optimum location of cabbage processing complexes, based on changes in both production capacity and processed cabbage demand. The study develops a transshipment model-based mixed integer programming model, combining the integer location decision variable and the continuous transportation cost variables. The empirical evidence found that Gyeongbuk Andong-gun and Chungbuk Eumseong-gun were all chosen as the optimum candidates in every scenario analysis. Those two regions are relatively close to raw cabbage producing areas and have relatively large-scale kimchi processing plants, compared to other location candidates.
