Abstract
This paper examines the plant location problem of the cotton-processing industry. In recent years the industry has experienced an excess gin plant capacity. By considering the transportation requirements from the farms to the gins, the gin costs, and the gin capabilities, we develop a model to determine which gins should be used for this seasonal product. A case study is used to illustrate the analysis and emphasis is placed on alternative formulations of the model.
