Consider Modeling a Warehouse with Three In-Flow Arcs and Three

question 47

Multiple Choice

Consider modeling a warehouse with three in-flow arcs and three outflow arcs. The warehouse node is a transshipment node but has a capacity of 100. How would one modify the network model to avoid adding a side constraint that limits either the sum of in-flows or the sum of the out-flows to 100?

• A) Place a limit of 34 on each in-flow arc.
• B) Add a side constraint limiting the out-flow arcs sum to 100.
• C) Separate the warehouse node into two nodes, connected by a single arc, with capacity of 100.
• D) It cannot be accomplished, a side constraint must be added.
