In a transportation problem, generally, a single criterion of minimizing the total cost is considered. But in certain …, consumption of certain scarce resources such as energy, total deterioration of goods during transportation, etc. Clearly, this … bicriteria transportation problem, it is applicable to any bicriteria linear program in general. The bottleneck criterion …

We consider the problem of designing a multivehicle automated guided vehicle system (AGVS) to supplement an existing nonautomated material handling system. The AGVS consists of a pool of vehicles that deliver raw components from a central storage area to workcenters throughout the factor floor....

For this purpose, we study the cost effectiveness of restricting the inventory … inventory and transportation cost is no more than 4/3 (5.6/4.6 if transportation costs are stationary) times the optimal cost …

The Chinese postman problem is to find a least cost way to traverse each arc of a network at least once and to return to the vertex from which you started. Diverse problems such as the routing of road crews, police patrol scheduling, garbage collection and the programming of computer map...

The problem addressed is to determine an equilibrium price in each … region so that regional price differences do not exceed unit transportation costs, and when trade takes place between two … regions, prices differ by the associated transportation cost. The problem has several quadratic programming formulations. We …
