Abstract

This paper presents the formulation of a goal programming model for analysis of the transshipment problem, where multiple conflicting objectives must be considered. Included are the general G. P. model for the transshipment problem, and a representative application of goal programming to such a problem. Analysis and interpretation of the G.P. solution to the problem is presented.

    Citation Excerpt :

    These objectives include time, cost, risk, environmental concerns etc. Thus, multi-objective flow models are more appropriate for modelling real-world decision making situations than single objective models (Aneja and Nair, 1979; Current and Marsh, 1993; Current and Min, 1986; Lee, Green, and Kim, 1981; Lee and Schniederjans, 1983; Moore, Taylor, and Lee, 1978; Ulungu and Teghem, 1994). In this paper we consider the bi-objective multi-commodity minimum cost flow problem (BMCMCF).
