The chemical compositions of the sinter ore, hot metal and iron slag, raw material dosages, process temperatures, cooling water flow rates and total cost of the raw materials, fuels and power investments of the ISPWP in one year are taken as the constraints, respectively.
The optimal distribution of each raw material cost in the total cost, namely "generalized optimal construct", is obtained.
The total cost of raw materials is about 25 times as much as the feedstock cost itself, while it is four times as much in the WW route.
However, this difference in raw means of total costs is significant only for anthroposophic GP-CAMs.
Both pharmacist-led intervention arms were less costly than TAU based on the raw unadjusted mean total costs.
Determine the optimal lot size by minimizing the total cost of controlling raw material n required at plant k subjected to the given customer service level of raw material n at plant k.
The objective for optimization is to minimize the total cost composed of raw material procurement, setup and inventory holding costs as well as the capital costs of processing stages and storage units.
Table 2 shows the values of supply chain cost, volume flexibility, total cost of controlling raw materials at the supplier echelon, total cost of controlling products at the plant echelon, and total cost of controlling products at the distribution center echelon in tactical level.
(a) Step 2: Formulate tactical level models discussed in the 'Tactical level' section and solve to determine total cost of controlling raw material at the supplier echelon, total cost of production and cost of controlling finished product stockpile at the plant echelon, and total cost of controlling products at the distribution center echelon.
In tactical level, the total cost of controlling raw materials, cost of controlling finished products at the plant echelon, and cost of controlling finished products at the distribution center echelon are assumed as fuzzy goals.
