| Abstract: | A new formulation of a class of plant product mix loading problems is presented which are characterized by fixed facility costs, concave production costs and an integrated network structure which encompasses inbound supply and outbound distribution flows. The main objective is to assign product lines and volume to a set of capacitated plants. The problem formulation leads to a concave mixed-integer mathematical program. An optimization algorithm is developed that generates optimal solutions efficiently. The model is used to illustrate the impact of various cost factors on optimal product mix solutions. |
