The motivation for this book comes from the apparent inability of
existing orthodox location theory to throw light on a series of
location-production problems which are typically faced by modem
manufacturing and distribution ftrms. These problems are related to
the treatment of time by ftrms, who normally view time costs in
terms of inventory costs. From this perspective, traditional
industrial location and linkage analysis can be re-cast in a form
in which space time problems can be dealt with in a unifted manner.
The role played by input factor prices and market prices in
location behaviour becomes dependent on the relationship between
the frequency of shipment and the distance of shipment. This
approach provides new insights into the relationship between the
optimal location of the ftrm and the value-added by the ftrm, under
conditions of either ftxed or varying local factor prices. The
approach can then also be extended to discuss the of the spatial
changes involved in the new Just-In-Time (JIT) production question
philosophy. I would like to acknowledge the many helpful
discussions I have had with Bernard Fingleton, Masahisa Fujita,
Geoff Hewings, John McCombie, Ron Miller, John Parr, Tony E. Smith,
and my colleagues at the University of Reading. Table of Contents
