Question: Problem 8 ( Adapted from Winston, 2 0 0 4 ) : City 1 produces 5 0 0 tons of waste per day, and city
Problem Adapted from Winston, : City produces tons of waste per day, and city
produces tons of waste per day. Waste must be incinerated at incinerator or and each
incinerator can process up to tons of waste per day. The costs per ton to transport waste from each
city to each incinerator are given in the following table:
The cost to incinerate waste is $ ton at incinerator and $ ton at incinerator Incineration
reduces each ton of waste to ton of debris, which must be dumped at one of two landfills.
Each landfill can receive at most tons of debris per day. The costs per ton to transport debris from
each incinerator to each landfill are given in the following table:
Part a: Formulate an LP that can be used to minimize the total cost of disposing of the waste of both
cities. In this part, you should not use summation and "for every".
Part b: Formulate an indexed linear program ie using summation and "for every" to determine a
minimumcost plan for disposing waste. You will need to define parameters to represent all of the data
associated with each city, incinerator, and landfill.
Part c: Solve the problem using an indexed model ie with summation and "for every" in AMPLCPLEX
and report the obtained optimal solution.
