Solving Inventory Problems using the Factorable Nonlinear Programming Language.

Abstract

This memorandum is intended to aid the logistics practitioner in setting up his algebraic statement of an optimization model in such a way that it can be automatically processed and solved by a canned nonlinear programming algorithm. The example used is the Schrady-Choe optimal inventory model. The model algorithm interface is accomplished by a new version of the factorable nonlinear programming language which allows for symbolic input. (Author)
