| Abstract | This study addresses an application of operations research in the preparation for delivery of diesel oil by sea transportation. The preparation goes through planning in multiple periods, scheduling in shorter interval, then updating and revising in rolling horizon basis. Of these above works, the scheduling attracts the most attention. Its goal is the integration of some relevant components of decision making process in managing a distribution activity, such as fleet composition, delivery rollout and routing. The plaiming and scheduling are performed by formulating mathematical models and solving them by LINGO software. The updating process is outlined but not delineated explicitly. For the planning model, LINGO quickly produces optimal solutions. For the scheduling model, the solutions are often feasible rather than optimal after reasonable elapsed runtimes. However, the optimal results of such integrated scheduling have not been known. Therefore, the yielded schedules can become comparison benchmarks should interest in the problem remains in the future. |
