摘要:

AbstractThe orientation of management science in Mobil is that of joint problem solving. Teams of management scientists and line management solve and implement solutions to problems with terms of reference given by senior management. This has resulted in an effective programme which is illustrated here by the work in one aspect of the petroleum industry, the distribution of products from Refinery to customer.

摘要:

AbstractThe paper describes how a number of proposed deep-water port developments for importing ore for the British Steel Corporation were assessed. The study was divided into two stages: the first stage was used to identify the best available options against a background of uncertainty by considering one year in a changing future; the second stage was used to evaluate the best proposals in detail and plan a course of action.The investigating team was heavily involved throughout in the managerial aspects of planning and decision-making. Where appropriate the effects of this participation are described and from them corresponding lessons drawn.

摘要:

AbstractThe work done by Esso's authorized distributors in a certain area of the U.K. was reviewed in depth, leading to the closure of a number of plants and to a reduction in the number of separate distributor companies operating in the area.The study fell into three phases. The first was a detailed investigation and comparison of the costs and profits of nine distributor companies in 1966. The second phase considered the economics of the physical distribution of our products in the future, and led to the plant closures. The third phase was concerned with changing distributor territories in order to make the best use of the smaller number of plants and larger delivery areas.A special purpose integer-linear-programming code was used to analyse the plant location problem considered in Phase 2. In preparing transport costs for this program, special attention was given to the effect of the significant seasonal variations in demand and to the fact that truck loads are usually divided between several customers.
