Optimization Model in Transportation Logistics Management Problems

Abstract

This paper presents development of a mathematic optimization model in transportation logistics management on example of supplying goods or resources (e.g.: wheat and sunflower seed) to the Black Sea ports on the Ukrainian shore to constitute a regular lot for a ship. In fact, it is possible to reduce the shipment value optimization mathematic model to be stated in three-index problems of transportation. Nowadays we are familiar with stringent, as well as with approximated ways to solve these problems of logistics. In view of numerous variables contained within a true-world problem, we elaborated a program for solving this problem under environment of a Maple® software pack of symbol mathematics. The present paper incorporates a program source code abstract along with solving model problems together with recommended subsequent perfection to the model given.
