挪威公司Omya Hustadmarmor从一家加工厂向欧洲造纸商供应碳酸钙浆料，使用各种尺寸的化学品油轮运输其产品。大型船舶的运输成本低于小型船舶，但它们的使用增加了规划的复杂性，并在生产中产生问题。2001年，该公司面临着巨大的运营挑战，并寻求基于运营研究的规划支持。首席执行官Sturla Steinsvik联系了More Research莫尔德，该公司开展了一个项目，开发了一个海上库存路由决策支持系统（DSS）。决策支持系统的核心是一个优化模型，通过基于元分析的算法求解。该系统帮助规划人员做出更强、更快的决策，并提高了整个供应链的可预测性和灵活性。它每年节省了近700万美元的生产和运输成本。我们预计，随着该项目的实施，该公司将为船队增加更大的船舶，每年将直接节省近400万美元。此外，该公司还通过提高产能利用率避免了3500万美元的投资。最后，该项目通过减少10%以上的总体石油消耗量，对环境产生了积极的影响。
The Norwegian company Omya Hustadmarmor supplies calcium carbonate slurry to European paper manufacturers from a single processing plant, using chemical tank ships of various sizes to transport its products. Transportation costs are lower for large ships than for small ships, but their use increases planning complexity and creates problems in production. In 2001, the company faced overwhelming operational challenges and sought operations-research-based planning support. The CEO, Sturla Steinsvik, contacted More Research Molde, which conducted a project that led to the development of a decision-support system (DSS) for maritime inventory routing. The core of the DSS is an optimization model that is solved through a metaheuristic-based algorithm. The system helps planners to make stronger, faster decisions and has increased predictability and flexibility throughout the supply chain. It has saved production and transportation costs close to US$7 million a year. We project additional direct savings of nearly US$4 million a year as the company adds even larger ships to the fleet as a result of the project. In addition, the company has avoided investments of US$35 million by increasing capacity utilization. Finally, the project has had a positive environmental effect by reducing overall oil consumption by more than 10 percent.
