3. Objective function The model variables of this model are defined as Xij for i=1,2,3 and j=1,2,3,4. Which represent the amount of grain sent from silo i to mill j. A trucking company ships truckloads of grain from 3 silos to 4 mills. The offers, the demands and the unit costs of transport per load to the different routes are shown in the following table (image). The company wants to ship the trucks on the lowest-cost route. a) Write what is the expression of the objective function, based on its variables and costs. You should only write, not write any words alone, Z=expression (in capital letters), since it is a short answer. b) Write only the number that represents how many basic variables the problem has.
