Abstract

Predicting the consequences of changes in limestone exploitation and consumption system is a problem that requires an adequate analytical approach. This paper presents the linear model of location optimization of limestone exploitation and consumption in Macedonia with 29 production entities - open-pit mines, and two options of consumption entities, with 15 and 16 consumers. By changing the number of consumers, the research demonstrates that mathematical model approach with adequate sensitivity to changes in relative parameters is necessary for a complete and reliable overview of system behavior.
