Abstract

AbstractA wide range of models and and solution procedures are now available to the analyst concerned with plant or warehouse location problems. While these produce an optimal solution, no explicit statement is usually made about solution stability. One large group of models concerned with size and siting problems uses the transportation model of linear programming as a solution procedure. This paper presents a method of testing the stability of such solutions. The problem outlined here concerns a plant location study and explicitly examines processing cost variations. However, the sensitivity test used can be applied in general to any cost elements of a transportation problem matrix.
