PARAMETRIC STUDIES IN TRANSPORTATION - TYPE PROBLEMS

Some results in parametric studies are presented on several transportation-type problems. Specifically, a characterization is obtained for the optimal values of the variables in the problem of determining an optimal growth path in a logistics system. Also derived is an upper bound beyond which the optimal growth path remains the same. The results are then extended to the goal programming model and the prespecified market growth rate problem.
