Logistics planning technique and applications

Abstract

Exercise 1: We have to solve a linear programming system, concerning a cost transport optimisation. To minimise the total transport cost, we have to use the linear programming mathematical model. Exercise 2: We have to find an appropriate place for a new distribution centre by using the Gravity model to place it at an optimum position. Exercise 3: We have to find an appropriate routing for the new distribution centre by using one of the Sweep or Saving algorithms.
