Gasoline Distribution Cost Optimization

The document presents six optimization problems related to resource allocation to minimize costs. The first problem involves assigning optimal amounts of gasoline from three locations to four distributors to satisfy demand at the lowest cost. The other problems involve optimally assigning deliveries from depots to warehouses, production methods to means of production, and contractors to construction projects.

UNIT 2 DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS

CHAPTER 1 TRANSPORT MODEL WORKSHOP 1


Four Gasoline Dispensers A, B, C, and D require 50,000, 40,000, 60,000 and
40,000 gallons of gasoline respectively. It is possible to meet these demands at
starting from localities 1, 2, and 3 which have 80,000, 100,000, and 50,000 gallons
respectively. The costs of dispatching 1,000 gallons of gasoline presented in the
Table No. 2 indicates that it costs $70 to send 1,000 gallons of gasoline from location 1.
to the dispenser A, $80 to send 1,000 gallons of gasoline from location 2 to the
dispenser B, etc. The problem consists of determining the quantities of gasoline that
they must be sent from each locality to each vendor, so that the
distributors' requirements are met and that the total costs of
dispatch should be minimal.

2. Three depots supply five warehouses. The table indicates the transportation cost per
unity between deposits and warehouses, the capacities of the deposits and the
warehouse requirements. However, the damage to a main bridge has
prevented deliveries from depot A to warehouse 5, from depot B to
the warehouse 2 and from the deposit C to the warehouse 4. Determine within these
limitations of the optimal delivery scheme.
