Abstract
This paper shows how work may be used to analyze possible long-term transportation of oil derivatives
by pipeline, truck, railway, and ship and reduce the distribution cost. It deals with the scheduling of a multi-product, multi-
depot system receiving a number of petroleum products from different refineries and distributes them among several depots
and market areas while the demand is an uncertain parameter. Depots typically operate independently and solely within
their own territories. However, it may be beneficial to allow those depots to operate interdependently, particularly when
the product supplies work capacity is limited. It also discusses the issue of constraints in shipping oil to/from ports
for export/import purposes.
