Abstract: An apparently combinatorial problem is defined, and a method given for solution by reduction to a network flow problem. The basic problem defined is that of assessing the desirability of incurring a number of fixed costs, when the benefits to be obtained cannot be related to individual cost-incurring items (facilities) but only to combinations.
