Modelo de decisão para a programação de entrega de concreto produzido em centrais. / A decision model for the problem of scheduling concrete delivery produced in concrete batch plants.

Côrtes, Clicia Soriano 23 May 2011 (has links)
O presente trabalho trata do problema da programação de entrega de concreto produzido em centrais dosadoras. Tal programação engloba as decisões de qual central deverá atender cada cliente e em qual horário cada veículo de entrega deverá ser carregado nessa central, de forma a maximizar a receita marginal total do sistema. São consideradas restrições de capacidade de carregamento de veículos por central, disponibilidade da frota, e garantia de atendimento de todos os pedidos de cada cliente por uma única central. A fim de resolver esse problema de forma eficiente, é proposto um modelo de programação matemática baseado em uma rede espaço-tempo, o qual foi implementado em ambiente de planilha eletrônica, como parte de um sistema de apoio à decisão. O sistema conta com uma interface amigável para o usuário, desenvolvida em linguagem VBA, que apresenta facilidade de preenchimento dos dados de entrada e compreensão dos resultados fornecidos, mesmo por aqueles sem conhecimento em pesquisa operacional. A aplicação do modelo proposto para a resolução de problemas com dados reais confirma que o modelo funciona corretamente, considera as restrições e gera rapidamente a solução ótima. Sendo assim, a ferramenta desenvolvida mostra-se bastante útil para as operações de programação de uma empresa concreteira que opera diversas centrais dosadoras de concreto. / This paper addresses the problem of scheduling concrete delivery produced in concrete batch plants. Such scheduling comprises the decisions of which center should serve each customer and what time each delivery vehicle should be loaded, so as to maximize the total marginal revenue of the system. Vehicle loading capacity constraints per center, fleet availability and the assurance that all orders will be fulfilled by a single concrete center are considered. In order to solve this problem efficiently, we propose a mathematical programming model based on a time-space network, implemented in a spreadsheet environment, as part of a decision support system. The system features a user-friendly interface, developed in VBA, which makes it easy to enter data and understand the results provided, even by those without knowledge in operational research. The implementation of the proposed model to solve problems with real data confirms that the model works properly, taking into consideration the constraints and quickly generating the optimal solution. Thus, the developed tool appears to be very useful for scheduling operations of a company which operates several concrete batch plants.

Efficient Information Flow in a Supply Chain of Raw Materials

Steinkeller, John January 2017 (has links)
The Study aims to evaluate what kind of systems buyers of raw materials use for handling the flow of information in their supply chain of raw materials. Due to the complexity of the topic, the Study is only examining the continuous exchange of information between suppliers and buyers of raw materials. The purpose of the Study is to provide recommendations to Boliden on which system is suitable for implementation at the company. The Study’s results were achieved by collecting both primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected through interviews with raw materials buyers and trade organisations. A total of fifteen interviews were conducted in the Study. The secondary data was collected through a literature study. The results of the Study indicate that there exists four different solutions for managing the flow of information in a supply chain of raw materials. The most common solution among buyers of raw materials is to use the so-called “traditional” systems, i.e. e-mail, telephone and physical meetings. The second most common solution is to use an external information handling system provided by a trade organisation. The third most common solution is to use a commercial information handling system, i.e. a system provided by a commercial provider. Lastly, the least common solution is to develop an information handling system on its own, i.e. a proprietary information handling system. The conclusion of the Study is that Boliden should use two information handling system simultaneously, i.e. an external information handling system and the traditional information handling systems. However, Boliden should also look into the option of developing a proprietary information handling system.
