A Dynamic Plant Location Model: The East Florida Fresh Citrus Packing Industry
将动态规划与标准转运模型结合，构建动态工厂选址模型，分析东佛罗里达鲜柑橘包装行业中新建大型包装厂与现有小型/大型包装厂的竞争关系，发现现有工厂可暂时放弃投资回报。
Abstract Static location models provide a long‐run solution without the adjustments required over time. Dynamic programming allows incorporation of short‐ and long‐run adjustments in the same plant location model. A standard transshipment model with fixed quantities at supply and demand points is integrated with a dynamic program. Results indicate new large packinghouses are (are not) competitive with existing small (large) packinghouses even though (because) existing plants can forego a return on investment for a finite period.
