Abstract

A study of the current US flue-cured 2 2 Flue-cured is a method of curing tobacco using controlled temperature and humidity. tobacco marketing system was performed to determine the need for a new system. Computer simulation models of 13 alternative marketing systems were developed. The throughput, kg of tobacco processed in a 40-hour period, was measured. Maximum throughput predicted by the 13 models varied from 298 508 kg to 1 347 472 kg per 40-hour period. A fractional factorial experimental design was used to determine significant model factors. Statistical models were employed to isolate important factors and differences among the marketing systems studied. Two marketing systems are recommended to the US flue-cured tobacco industry for further analysis.
