Minimum cost flow Description A company needs to transport 180 tonnes of chemical products
stored in four depots to three recycling centers. The depots
contain 190 tonnes in total. Each depot only delivers to
certain centers, by road and/or by rail, at a given cost
per tonne. Transports by rail need to have at least 10 tonnes
and at most 50 tonnes for any single delivery.
How should the company transport the 180 tonnes of chemicals
to minimize the total cost of transport? Further explanation of this example: 'Applications of optimization with Xpress-MP', Section 10.2 'Choosing the mode of transport' (e2minflow.mos). Similar problems: Section 6.4 'Cane sugar production' (a4sugar.mos), Section 6.5 'Opencast mining' (a5mine.mos)
