Abstract: FLAGPOL, a large-scale linear-programming model of the production, distribution, and inventory operations in the flat glass business of Libbey-Owens-Ford deals with four plants, over 200 products, and over 40 demand centers in a 12-month planning horizon. Annual savings from a variety of sources are estimated at over $2,000,000.
