Abstract
An MIP formulation for solving a coal shipment problem is presented. B enders Decomposition algorithm is adopted in this study due to its cap ability of solving complicated mixed integer programming problem. The run time results shows that the proposed algorithm consumes much less run time than the original MIP formulation.
