• Must be defined in blocks. For example, a set and all its subsets
should constitute one block in the set section.
• Names are intended to be meaningful. Follow conventions
• Items with the same name represent the same concept in different

• Units should be used in all definitions
• Parameters are named pParameterName (e.g., pOperReserveDw)
• Variables are named vVariableName (e.g., vReserveDown)
• Equations are named eEquationName (e.g., eOperReserveDw)
• Use short set names (one or two letters) for easier reading
• Equations are laid out as clearly as possible

Transportation model
There are can factories and consumption markets. Each
factory has a maximum capacity of 𝑖 cases, and each market
demands a quantity of 𝑗 cases (it is assumed that the total
production capacity is greater than the total market demand for
the problem to be feasible). The transportation cost between
each factory and each market for each case is 𝑖𝑗. The demand
must be satisfied at a minimum cost.
The decision variables of the problem will be cases transported
between each factory and each market , 𝑖𝑗.

Picking the right campsite
https://pubsonline.informs.org/do/10.1287/orms.2015.03.06/full

• Selecting the ideal camping site requires careful consideration of many factors
such as the proximity to water, availability of firewood and protection from the
elements. Your potential camping sites are shown in the corresponding map.
The map consists of 64 sites each with varying characteristics, including water,
wood, swamp and mosquitoes.
• The quality of a site is determined by a points system. A site that contains water
receives +3 points and a site that is near water receives +1 point. A site that
contains wood receives +2 points and a site that is near wood receives +1 point.
A site that contains a swamp is -2 points and a site that is near a swamp is -1
point. A site that contains mosquitoes receives -3 points and a site that is near
mosquitoes is -2 points.
• “Near” is defined as adjacent sites including diagonals. For example, site B5 is
worth 1 point (based on +3 on water, +1 near wood, -2 near mosquitoes, -1
near swamp). Note that you only count points once for each type of
characteristic.
• Where is the best campsite?
