Even though this\nship inventory routing problem and the conventional Inventory Routing Problem\n(IRP) have similar structures, differences arise in various characteristics in\nthe application specifically to the LNG industry.\u0026nbsp; We develop a discrete time optimization model\nand heuristic algorithms for solving annual delivery plans.\u0026nbsp; Computational results comparing various\nalgorithmic approaches are presented.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBio:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EKevin Furman has served in a leadership role on various\nprograms and teams related to optimization and logistics research and software\napplication development across multiple ExxonMobil affiliates.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; He received his PhD in chemical engineering\nfrom the University\n of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.\u0026nbsp; His 9 years at ExxonMobil have been focused\non research, development and leadership in the areas of operations research and\nprocess systems engineering.\u0026nbsp; Kevin has\nbeen an active member within the research community and professional societies\nincluding INFORMS, Mathematical Optimization Society and AIChE.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Practical Methods for LNG Inventory Routing"}],"uid":"27187","created_gmt":"2011-09-12 15:30:06","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:55:42","author":"Anita Race","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-09-20T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2011-09-20T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-09-20T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-09-20 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-09-20 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-09-20 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
