ECONOMIES OF MULTIPLANT GRAIN ELEVATOR FIRMS

1986
Multiplant theory and a mathematical programming model were combined to analyze economies of multiplant grain firms. Multiplant firms operate smaller sized elevators because single plant economies of scale decrease. Empirical results found significant cost savings from organizing elevators as • part of a multiplant rather than a single plant firm.

Grain export elevators: An economies of size analysis

Agribusiness, 1987
An economic engineering approach was used to investigate physical economies of size in port elevators. Results confirmed that physical economies of size do exist. Comparisons with operating port elevators indicate that either engineered configurations are overly constraining or non-physical variables influence size decisions.

China’s Grain Economy and Trade Policy

2000
China’s role in the world market has experienced profound changes over recent decades. In the 1950s, China was a net exporter of grain, especially of rice. This position, however, changed drastically from the early 1960s when China became a net grain importer.

Fine-grained warm water cooling for improving datacenter economy

Proceedings of the 46th International Symposium on Computer Architecture, 2019
Driven by the increasing power consumption of datacenters, the industry is focusing more on water cooling for improving the energy efficiency. Using warm water to cool servers has been considered as an efficient method to reduce the cooling energy. However, warm water cooling may lead to the risk of cooling failure and its energy efficiency suffers ...

Local Grain Economy: Pathways to Transition Framework

Aotearoa has the capacity to supply much more milling wheat to New Zealand eaters, but growing a local grain economy requires fundamental investment or support of infrastructure at the small to medium scale. On-farm mills are an example of supply chain disruption, handing agency back to farmers, allowing them to be price setters rather than price ...
