Two models and accompanying computer programs are presented which were developed to locate facilities for the timber harvesting industry. Addressed is a case of the facility location-allocation problem. The optimum location and number of landings, facilities to which timber is transshipped, are determined so as to minimize a cost function. This function is composed of the following components: (1) cost of transporting material from its original location to a landing, (2) cost of establishing a landing (facility cost), and (3) cost of transporting material from the landings to some designated point termed the origin. Output of the computer programs is …
