2. Problem
• The are different dumping sites in surrounding area of Islamabad/Rawalpindi for municipal waste, Out
of all of them four sites named as
• Chohan Chakri Dump Site,
• National Park dump site, Taxila,
• H-11 dump sites
• Fateh Jung dump site
were selected for collection of municipal waste for shifting/trasnsporting of municipal waste to two
power plants (operated from municipal waste) for power generation located in Rawat and Fateh Junk.
• The objective of this project is to minimize the cost of transportation
3. Solution
• The first thing in this problem is the cost of transportation from dumping sites to plants which is given
(in Thousands) in table below
• Cost is estimated as per distance given in google maps
Dump Sites Rawat Fateh Jung
Chakri 3.377 4.64
Taxila 3.04 4.06
H-11 2.17 5.02
Fateh Jung 1.06 6.09
4. Solution
• The first thing in this problem is the available municipal
waste at various dumping sites given in table below
Dump Sites Amound of waste
on Tonnes
Chakri 100
Taxila 150
H-11 250
Fateh Jung 90
5. Q is the internal heat source (heat generated per unit time per unit volume
is positive),
Solution
• The third thing in this problem is the requirement of municipal waste at various dumping sites
given in table below
Requirement of waste in Tones
Plant 1 Plant 2
200 350
6. Solution
• Figure shows the transportation of wastes from dumping
sites. Where x1, x2 x3 are the total cost of shiping, which
will determined to minimize the total cost
15. Modification 1
• The problem is now modified using different objective coefficients.
(Transportation cost is not same for all transporting vehicles)
Minimized Cost in thousands is 1567.1
