Determining Alternative Locations for Plant Processing Facilities: A Method for Guidance of Policymakers

D.C. Ferguson, W.O. McCarthy and J.L. Rodgers

Review of Marketing and Agricultural Economics, 1972, vol. 40, issue 04, 15

Abstract: A method is outlined which augments and modifies the Logan and King optimum solution of the processing plant location problem to give a number of near optimum solutions. Policy-makers can then consider jointly the comparative costs of alternative locations and their comparative noneconomic benefits. A Western Australian example involving the location of wool assembly and sampling centres is used to illustrate the method.
