| This study is concerned with determining the number, size, and location of selling centres for Australian wool so that transport and selling charges are minimized. A plant location model incorporating transhipment assumptions was used. It was found that substantial cost savings could be made by rationalizing wool flows and establishing integrated selling centres. Of fourteen existing centres five were eliminated, and relative throughput at the remainder changed markedly. |

| A method is outlined which augments and modifies the Logan and King optimum solution of the processing plant location problem to give a number of near optimum solutions. Policy-makers can then consider jointly the comparative costs of alternative locations and their comparative noneconomic benefits. A Western Australian example involving the location of wool assembly and sampling centres is used to illustrate the method. |
