Optimizing the B.O.B.
… routing problem to develop a binary integer linear programming model. This allowed us to determine a new set of routes that minimize total travel time across the routes. Next, we developed an integer non-linear programming model to assign a set of buses to each of the new routes, with the …

Maximizing profits for a commercial salmon rearing facility using linear programming
A linear programming model of a commercial salmon rearing facility is formulated. A scheme is provided for facility expansion at an optimum rate, maximizing profit to the grower. The variables are the number of fish started in each year and the number of fresh water ponds and salt water pens to …

Development of a joint product, timber supply model
The process analysis approach was chosen for modeling the joint product nature of timber supply. Considerable emphasis was placed upon defining model components that would be required for developing a positivistic model of timber supply. An empirical application of the proposed linear programming …

Active leakage management with bayesian networks
… different active leakage management methods and models, their implementation in most developing countries’ Water distribution systems (WDS’s) remain limited. This is attributed to some limiting challenges to leakage management faced by these WDS. Some of these include; financial constraints, poor …

Distribution network optimization in the uniform rental industry
Optimization models are a commonly used tool to identify cost efficient network flows. Complexity increases when various products move across different paths and transportation modes within one network. To address the challenges posed by this complexity, this thesis develops a mixed integer linear …
