A procedure for optimizing tactical response in oil spill clean up operations

Article Abstract:

An optimization procedure, which is based on an aggregation scheme and cutting plane methods, was formulated to resolve difficulties associated with Tactical Decision Problem (TDP). The procedure seeks to create effective solutions to the TDP that will serve as decision support tool for managers during an oil spill response. Solutions obtained from Aggregated Tactical Model was utilized in revising and in producing a set of facets for the TDP.
