Objectives: The logistics hub construction has always been the short board of logistics network planning in China. In order to improve the decision-making efficiency of logistics enterprise’s hub selection and reduce its comprehensive operation cost, this paper establishes a cost difference model for hub-and-spoke(H-S) and point-to-point(P-P) networks considering the fixed cost of hubs, transportation and route costs based on the 0-1 integer nonlinear programming. The model aims at minimizing the cost difference between the two networks, and divides the fixed cost of the hubs into three situations: full lease, lease and self-built, and fully self-built. Finally, this paper takes tobacco transportation logistics as an example, and use particle swarm algorithm to solve the model by using tobacco transportation logistics data of a logistics enterprise in Jiangsu Province. The results show that: (i) in the case of complete leasing, the total cost of the H-S network decreases with the increase of the number of hubs, and the cost change has a point of intersection with the total cost of the P-P network;(ii) when the lease and self-build are mixed, the increase is first reduced and then increased, it is U-shaped and has a minimum value, and there are two intersections with the total cost of the P-P network;(iii) the situation of completely self-built and fully leased is just the opposite. This paper takes tobacco transportation logistics as a representative, and provides a reference for logistics companies to choose the appropriate regional logistics network structure and different pivot points.

This paper develops a new model, which allows for the co-existence of hub-and-spoke and point-to-point networks in the airline industry. Passengers are segmented between the non-stop and one-stop services. In the baseline model, the monopoly airline’s ability to segment the market and effectively set up the mixed network depends on the cost savings due to the through-hub service relative to exogenous quality difference between the one-stop and non-stop flights. Socially inefficient entry with the new non-stop service where an incumbent is operating the hub-and-spoke network is possible.

Este trabalho teve o objetivo de analisar a estrutura de custos de madeira serrada de Pinus taeda com duas metodologias de desdobro, denominadas de sistema convencional e sistema otimizado. Os diâmetros das toras variaram de 18 a 44 cm. Foram testadas 100 toras, sendo 50 toras divididas em cinco classes diamétricas para cada sistema de desdobro. Utilizando o sistema convencional de desdobro, verificou-se que os custos fixos representaram 12,03% do custo unitário de produção. Desses, os gastos com salários e encargos sociais foram os mais significativos, representando 9,22% do custo total unitário de produção, e por 76,61% dos custos fixos. O custo variável representou 87,97% do custo total unitário de produção, sendo que 84,64% foram relativos a aquisição de toras. Utilizando o sistema programado de desdobro das toras, a participação percentual do custo fixo aumentou para 14,87%, decorrente da queda ocorrida nos custos variáveis. A participação do custo variável unitário representou 85,13% do total dos custos unitários, apresentando uma redução de 3,23% em relação ao desdobro convencional. Com o desdobro programado, a redução no custo total foi de 5,12%.Palavras-chave: Pinus; classificação de toras; modelos de corte; otimização. AbstractIncome analysis costs in Pinus taeda sawn wood using two methodologies.

Este estudo teve o objetivo de analisar de forma pontual a estrutura de custos do manejo de baixo impacto em florestas tropicais com dois ciclos de corte. Os dados utilizados foram fornecidos por uma empresa que explora uma floresta situada no município de Marcelândia, Estado do Mato Grosso, e comercializa as toras com as indústrias da região. Os resultados demonstraram elevação dos custos variáveis ao longo do primeiro ciclo em função da implantação dos tratos silviculturais, com o custo fixo permanecendo inalterado. No segundo ciclo, ocorreu redução no custo total em razão do aumento da produtividade para 15m3/ha e da eliminação de operações das atividades pré-exploratória e exploratória. Dos componentes do custo fixo, o custo administrativo é o mais elevado, representando 26,2% do custo total, ou R$ 16,27/m3. Dos custos variáveis, a atividade exploratória é a mais onerosa, custando R$ 22,33/m3, dos quais R$ 12,92/m3 são consumidos pela abertura de estradas e o arraste.

This research work is mainly focused on comparative economic analysis of Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) for Kharif Groundnut under Central Dry Zone of Karnataka. The purpose of conducting the study is to examine the cost of cultivation for ZBNF with other treatments. This is mainly due to farmers are facing high cost of cultivation by practicing conventional farming as it is highly depends on external inputs. ZBNF is low cost technology where, farming is practiced by using jeevamrutha, beejamrutha, mulching and whapsa etc. The Groundnut experiment was conducted at ZAHRS, Babbur Farm, Hiriyur during Kharif 2019-20 in order to estimate economics for different treatments. Each treatment was having different input usage. For calculating economics of each treatment, conventional cost of cultivation method was followed (i.e. calculation of Variable cost, Fixed cost, Gross returns, Net returns and B:C).The results of economic analysis revealed that the per hectare yield (17.46 q/ha) total cost ( 53,019), gross returns ( 88,871), net returns ( 35,852) and B:C (1.68) were found to be highest in RPP among all treatments i.e. ZBNF, OPS and Control. The cost of cultivation of ZBNF 22.55 per cent lesser than RPP. The B:C ratio was found to be more in ZBNF (1.66) than OPS (1.58).This is due to highest cost for purchase of excess quantity of FYM in case of OPS. It is concluded from the study that RPP was best treatment among all treatments. This is due to highest yield, net returns and B:C was found in RPP treatment  as compared to all treatments. In the economic point of view, there was reduction in total cost in case of ZBNF with fewer yields as compared to RPP.
