Problem definition¶
4 Trucks are available to deliver gas to 5 gas stations. Each truck has a different capacity and if the company decides to use it to supply to any gas stations, the cost can be modeled by a constant operating cost. The capacity and daily operating costs of each truck are shown in the table below.
Capacity (Liters) |
Daily Operating Costs |
|
|---|---|---|
Truck 1 |
4000 |
45 |
Truck 2 |
5000 |
50 |
Truck 3 |
6000 |
55 |
Truck 4 |
11000 |
60 |
Each gas station can be supplied only by one truck, but a track may deliver to more than one gas station. The daily demands of each gas station are shown in the table below.
Daily Demand (liters) |
|
|---|---|
Station 1 |
1000 |
Station 2 |
2000 |
Station 3 |
3000 |
Station 4 |
5000 |
Station 5 |
8000 |
Formulate an Integer Program Problem that can be used to minimise the distribution costs of the logistics operations needed to satisfy the demand of the five stations.
