Conveyor simulation in AnyLogic

This post is the first post in an upcoming series of posts on AnyLogic simulation modelling. I want to introduce basic material handling system simulation modelling using AnyLogic as a discrete-event simulation machine and modelling environment. I will use AnyLogic’s material handling library for the examples in this post, introducing some simple conveyor-centered DES models. […]

Solving linear transport problem with lp.transport in R, using lpSolve

The transportation problem is one of the classical problems teached in linear programming classes. The problem, put simply, states that a given set of customers with a specified demand must be satisfied by another set of supplier with certain capacities (“supply”). For a detailed explanation of the transportation problem you can, e.g. read this: https://econweb.ucsd.edu/~jsobel/172aw02/notes8.pdf. The lpSolve […]
