| dc.description.abstract | This study is concerned with determining the optimum number, size and location of grain handling facilities in Oklahoma. The study is based on existing data which projects feed grain and wheat production and utilization for the year 1990. Existing grain transportation rates and elevator operating costs were incorporated into the general transportation model to obtain the least-cost solution. An iterativeexpansion approach was used to evaluate the changes in number and size of elevators as the number of locations varied from 1 to 57. An analysis of that iteration which resulted in minimum combined operating and transportation costs is presented with comparisons to existing conditions in Oklahoma's grain elevator industry. | |
