    Study Notes

    Network Modeling

    • Network flow problems are decision problems in business that can be visually represented using a network.
    • Common network flow problems include: transshipment, shortest path, maximal flow, transportation/assignment, and generalized network flow.
    • Minimum spanning tree problems are also a type of network problem.

    The Transshipment Problem

    • The transshipment problem is a fundamental network flow problem, of which other network flow problems are variations.
    • It involves transporting goods between various locations, allowing for temporary storage at intermediate points.
    • The Bavarian Motor Company (BMC) example (provided in the text) demonstrates a transshipment problem: manufacturers cars in Hamburg, Germany, and ship them to US distributors via ports in Newark and Jacksonville
    • Distribution centers then ship the cars to different US cities.
    • The problem aimed to determine the least costly way for BMC to transport cars.
    • Nodes represent locations; arcs represent possible routes.
    • Directed arcs indicate the direction of flow.
    • Supply nodes have a surplus of items.
    • Demand nodes require items.
    • Transshipment nodes both receive and send items.

    Decision Variables in Network Flow Problems

    • Decision variables represent the number of units flowing between any two nodes.
    • Xij represents the number of items transported from node i to node j.
    • Node identification numbers are used for simpler representation.

    Objective Function in Network Flow Problems

    • The objective is usually to minimize the total cost or distance or penalty.
    • This is a "minimum cost network flow problem."
    • Costs associated with each arc (shipping between nodes) determine the objective function.
    • The objective function in the BMC example uses costs for each arc to represent the total transportation cost.

    Constraints in Network Flow Problems

    • Constraints describe the total supply and demand at each node and the flow of items.
    • Balance-of-flow rules apply for each node:
      • total supply > total demand, then Inflow - Outflow ≥ Supply or Demand
      • total supply = total demand, then Inflow - Outflow = Supply or Demand
      • total supply < total demand, then Inflow - Outflow ≤ Supply or Demand.
    • Specific constraints given for each node and each flow.

    Spreadsheet Implementation

    • Spreadsheet software (like Excel) is useful in implementing network flow problems to model, calculate, and solve.
    • Formulas are used to automate the calculations of total transportation cost, node inflows and outflows, and to manage variables and constraints.

    Analysis of Solution

    • Example spreadsheet computations illustrate how solutions can be found using LP optimization tools in software, like Excel.
    • The results, i.e. optimal shipping routes for the car example, are shown graphically and numerically in provided figures.

    The Shortest Path Problem

    • The shortest path problem determines the least-cost route/path between a starting node to an ending node.
    • Often used to find optimal routes for emergency vehicles, deliveries, or travel planning.

    The Equipment Replacement Problem

    • The equipment replacement problem focuses on optimizing a schedule for replacing equipment over time.
    • This type of problem may be tackled as a shortest path problem, using the balance-of-flow rule to calculate costs of potential alternatives.

    Transportation/Assignment Problems

    • Transportation/assignment problems involve modeling the movement of items from sources to destinations, e.g. Tropicsun Company moving citrus from groves to processing plants.
    • Networks in transportation problems have supply and demand nodes to indicate quantities.

    Generalized Network Flow Problems

    • Situations with gains or losses in the flows of items in a network, e.g., transportation of raw materials with yield factors to create new products at different costs.
    • These problems must adjust how constraints are handled computationally (compared to other problems mentioned).

    Minimal Spanning Tree Problems

    • Problems that require connecting n nodes of a network with the fewest amount of arcs (connecting all nodes, but not repeating any connections).
    • Methods for visually calculating the minimum amount of connecting arcs is demonstrated graphically (using an algorithm).
