Hi Rob

I am building some layers on top of this model . The model referenced in the link below, will get the cheapest way to ship from  Point A to Point B respecting the weight and volume of boxes available for that lane. It would factor in the costs and make the minimal cost decision. You had helped me to tune the constraints.  Now the new problem I am trying to solve is this. I am not sure if I have formulated it correct. I am looking for suggestions and I can change my model to behave the way I wanted it to behave. The one thing that I can right away think is to cut the number of possibilities by grouping similar charge buckets with same rate basis. Eg. Charge type A, charge type B all have a Volume based calculation. So i can just club all those and put a one aggregated number so that the problem size is small and solve time is faster. 

 

Anyways, here is the problem I want to solve: This is a ocean movement in this example.  There are some origins (Point A, Shanghai in our example) and destinations (Point B, Atlanta in our example) generally. In my example, there is only one origin and one destination. For this origin port, there are many vendors in Shanghai area. There are two different Method of Loading (CFS and CYS). The logic is that any vendor can send to CFS or CYS.  There is a node called T1 which is just the day number of an year and T2 which is the week number of that year. Specific rules to use CFS and CYS are below.

For using CYS: This is like each vendor taking a full container to their factory and loading all their stuff in it and sending to CYS from where it goes to Atlanta. This will be daily, meaning, each vendor, at the end of that day, if he can send all his goods by himself in this CYS, he can send. Next day he can take another container(s) and sends to Atlanta via this CYS option. In other words, if a vendor goes to CYS method, then only his stuff is there in the container and no other vendors' stuff gets contaminated in his container. It is like an exclusive/dedicated container only for that vendor and only for that day's load.

For CFS: If a vendor is not able to send via CYS daily (because it may be expensive to ship so little on a day) , then he has an option of consolidating his goods with other such vendors, and so, many such vendors go to a CFS, which is like a consolidation center. However at this CFS, the goods are consolidated for 1 week. At the end of week 1, all the vendors stuff are consolidated at CFS and sent finally to Atlanta.  In other words, we will just consolidate across a week (T2) for CFS . For CYS, consolidation is at T1 level (day) and for CFS it is weekly (T2 level). 

 

I am trying to decide, if a vendor can send all his stuff to CYS daily or if it is not feasible , he can send to CFS to be consolidated with other vendors for the week and then sent. I want to see for a given week, which vendor should send via CYS (daily) and which vendors go to CFS (weekly), obviously those who cannot do CYS their only other option is to get consolidated at CFS and send.

Here is my code.  The  CFSSpecific constraint is the one that are not right but CYSSpecific may be right, i am not sure. Appreciate your support. Have attached data as well. Am I missing something else? The rates are the same for a lane for a given ratetype and MOL. But I have it set up for all the combinations of dates and weeks in the data. Not sure if it is efficient way as well.

Your READ DATA statements refer to tables that I do not see in the attachment.  Please attach all required tables, ideally as separate data sets rather than as sheets in an Excel file.

Hi Rob

Ok. I have attached here 4 files (a) BoxRate (b) BoxSpecs (c) InputDataAssetMix and (d) ISN_T1_T2_Final.  These are small excel files. I do not know how to send SAS Datasets as such. Out of the four files above, I am not using ISN_T1_T2_Final yet but I have created it may be for future. The other three I am using definitely.  Here is my updated code below. Please use this one and also the input files as these are the right ones. The problem that I am grappling with is that if for CYS, each ISN will be evaluated if it makes sense to go via CYS on a day. Else, if it is not, then, all the remaining ISNs for that particular week will be consolidated and sent to CFS. For this consolidated CFS load, we will need to find the asset mix. I was thinking of some ideas one of which was to create a set of ISN, MOL, Box, T1 and T2 that are possible and then use this and which is why we have this ISN_T1_T2_Final. But I did not go far after just creating the table. Anyway, can you please help me how to solve this problem? Thanks always Rob.

Thank you for this update, but the Unique_* and BigM tables are still missing.

Sorry. Here are the tables. I am not using BigM table anyways as of now in the constraints.

@Santha, for attaching data sets, you may find it easier to use @SASJedi's data-to-data-step macro to convert a SAS data set into the appropriate DATA step/datalines code. 

 

The macro creates a text file containing the DATA step/datalines code that you can then Ctrl/A, Ctrl/C, and Ctrl/V into a SAS program (or into the "Insert SAS Code" icon on the communities page). 

 

You can read more about it and download the macro here

 

Example below and attached of the SASHELP.AIR data set, but you can run it for any data set. 

 

 

%data2datastep(AIR,SASHELP,,C:\...\MYAIR.txt,144);

@RobPratt - I know the syntax is not even right for the constraint "CFSSpecific".  I was  trying to work more on the constraint "CYSSpecific" but I was not successful.  I have this latest code that I was trying but in vain. I am now taking a pause and wait for recommendations from you to see if I can structure the model more efficiently, let alone the logic and syntax.

Thank you for attaching the additional data.  I will not have a chance to look at this again until tomorrow afternoon.  Although you addressed the question to me, anybody in the community is welcome to respond.

Oh ok Rob. 

Thank you. I shall wait.

Rob I think I may be closer to the solution . Here is my latest code below. 

If you look at the constraints Con CYSSpecific and Con CFSSpecific, there are two flavor of it , one for weight and one for volume. 

However, like I said in my description earlier,  what I wanted was for a given Day (which is T1), if  a given shipment (which is ISN here) can be sent to DC, then thats fine. If it is not, then it gets consolidated for that week. with other ISNs and goes to CFS . 

The model solves but it gives a warning WARNING: The Decomposition algorithm was not run because the automated method was unable to find block-angular form. Also, in the create data step, I am not able to see any observations for "OptMix_RESULTS_Shipment" and "OptMix_RESULTS_Volume".  I can see "OptMix_RESULTS_Box" though.  

Thanks in advance.

This Warning often appears for option "decomp=concomp" as you use it. You should have special structure of constraints and data for this option. 

https://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/or/143/decomp.pdf#page=6&zoom=100,96,457

I would recommend you to use "auto". That's more valuable in regular problems.

If talk about your goals to create logic for CYSSpecific and CFSSpecific, you can add some binary variables to creating if-else expressions.

Thas most interesting job in MILP.

It can looks like that: 

Binary x, If a>b then x=0, else x=1. This approach use BigM trick.
