Consider the optimization example from above (goodoptalgebra.gms) which involved a farming example. This can be rewritten to another context as follows (newcontext.gms)
SET Products Items produced by firm /Chairs , Tables , Dressers / Resources Resources limiting firm production /RawWood , Labor , WarehouseSpace/; PARAMETER Netreturns(products) Net returns per unit produced /Chairs 19 , Tables 50, Dressers 75/ Endowments(resources) Amount of each resource available /RawWood 700 , Labor 1000 , WarehouseSpace 240/; TABLE Resourceusage(resources,products) Resource usage per unit produced Chairs Tables Dressers RawWood 8 20 32 Labor 12 32 45 WarehouseSpace 4 12 10 ; POSITIVE VARIABLES Production(products) Number of units produced; VARIABLES Profit Total fir summed net returns ; EQUATIONS ProfitAcct Profit accounting equation , Available(Resources) Resource availability limit; ProfitAcct.. PROFIT =E= SUM(products,netreturns(products)*production(products)) ; available(resources).. SUM(products, resourceusage(resources,products) *production(products)) =L= endowments(resources); MODEL RESALLOC /ALL/; SOLVE RESALLOC USING LP MAXIMIZING PROFIT;
where only the lines in black changed not those in red relative to the farming example. So what? The algebraic structure once built did not need to be altered and GAMS models can easily be changed from one context to another. |
