Using transportation problem under uncertainty environment through Classification periods with an application

Abstract

The interest in this study focuses on how to transport and distribute petroleum products from distribution centers, which are a number of refineries distributed in different locations. This includes a group of governorates that consume these derivatives. In this case, the usual and multi-stage transportation models (Multistage Transportation) are adopted in order to accomplish this task. As the decisions to transfer these derivatives are made in the Iraqi environment characterized by a state of uncertainty (Uncertainly) and appear here. A certain peculiarity of this transportation process is that there is a temporal classification of the processing process for this substance (white oil), as it turns out that there are three time period The winter , lowest and spring.

A set of conclusions and recommendations were made, the most important of which are:

Adopting mathematical transportation models in the process of transporting and distributing petroleum products, especially white oil, would enhance the scientific technical capabilities in the process of transporting and distributing white oil at the lowest possible total cost.

The optimal solution can be obtained by the company by adopting the multistage transportation model with the help of ready-made software (Q.S, B) or (Q.M). These models are resorted to when there is a very high interest by the company’s management in costs. College should be as little as possible.
