The compressibility of natural gas allows the use of line pack to compensate for fluctuations of gas demand. On the basis of forecast consumption, a linear-programming model can yield a plan for ...

This paper studies the problem of simultaneously smoothing production and inventory and setting advertising levels. The models given are linear programming models, assuming a deterministic ...

An operations planning and economics improvement project at ConocoPhillips's Lake Charles, La., refinery successfully developed and implemented high-quality kinetic process models used for unit ...

As the title suggests, I have a problem in which I need to formulate an LP model. I'm supposed to work in Excel and use the Solver Add-in feature.<BR><BR>I've done several other problems already, but ...

This paper presents a new method for the inclusion of nonlinear demand and supply relationships within a linear programming model. An existing method for this purpose is described first and its ...
