THE LOGISTICS‐COST LOCATION‐PRODUCTION PROBLEM*
将库存模型引入韦伯-摩西选址生产问题,发现最优选址不仅取决于运输成本和生产函数,还受物料价值影响,且增加值是决定因素。
ABSTRACT. The paper applies an inventory model to the standard Weber‐Moses location‐production problem. By setting the problem within a time framework, costs are seen to be incurred by both the holding of goods and the shipment of goods. The optimum location of the firm is seen to depend not only on transportation costs and the nature of the firm's production function, but also on the value of the materials being shipped. Under these conditions there is no homogeneous solution to the Weber‐Moses problem. Furthermore, it is shown that the value added at the point of production is the primary factor which governs the optimum location of the firm.
