This study discusses the present method of distributing chemicals, fuel and lubricants, and primary iron and steel products between certain locations as inefficient. A linear programming (LP) model formulated in this study seeks to minimize the total cost of distributing a given volume of commodities among given locations. Since this analysis considers rail, truck, and barge modes, the locations included in the model must be accessible by all three transportation modes. The five cities involved are Corpus Christi, Houston, Beaumont/Port Arthur, New Orleans, and St. Louis. Certain simplifying assumptions are specified to allow the model to work.
