• Just in Time Delivery
• Post-Fordism
• Fordism
• Horizontal Integration

If you are manufacturing cars and your company bought up a power plant, boat docks, railroad, fire station, police station, factory all at the same complex, you would be using:

• horizontal integration
• vertical integration
• just in time delivery
• LETS

When predicting where a business "should" locate by analyzing costs of production, you are using:

• distance decay
• fordism
• just in time delivery
• location theory

increase in time and cost with increasing distance of production is called:

• friction of distance
• just in time delivery
• fordism
• vertical integration

What was the most important factor in Weber's model?

• Labor
• Agglomeration
• Raw materials
• Transportation

Clustering of similar businesses in the same area for mutual support is called:

• Fordism
• Just in time delivery
• Agglomeration
• Variable Costs

• fordism
• just in time delivery
• agglomeration
• deglomeration

If you are paying more for transportation costs by locating a business in China, but saving more money overall by using cheap labor, Weber would say you are using:

• Fordism
• Just in time delivery
• Substitution Principle

When you are manufacturing something and your inputs weigh more than your final product (creating paper from trees), you are making:

• bulk gaining product
• bulk reducing product
• tertiary industry
• primary industry

An example of a bulk gaining product from a factory would be:
