Weber’s Model Tutorial Start
3
This is a cost map showing the total transport cost. End
4
Only these readings can be changed. Other readings are either fixed or calculated automatically. End
5
The Weight Tonne, Weight Loss and Freight_tn/km of Raw Material A and B can be changed. End
6
For the finished product, only the Freight_tn/km can be changed. End
7
The points in red circles are the locations of Market, Raw Materials A and B. Raw Material B Raw Material A Market End
8
The readings in this table are the total transport costs. End
9
The least cost location can be found from this map. End
10
Now, let’s change the Freight_tn/km of the Finished Product from 1 to 3. End
11
Notice the change of the above map when the value is changed. End
12
When the readings are too large, they are shown as “ # ”, which can be visualized when the scale factor is enlarged. End
13
Market is the least cost location in this case. End Least cost!
14
Let’s continue to change the parameters of Raw Material A to see what will happen. End
15
Raw Material A is the least cost location in this case. Least cost! End
16
The parameters of Raw Material B can also be changed similarly to find another least cost location. End
17
That’s the end of this tutorial. End
