FCI Case

This document summarizes an analysis of optimal transportation routes for coarse, fine, and superfine grains within Andhra Pradesh. Data on monthly grain movement plans, transportation costs between districts, and supply/demand amounts are provided. The analysis uses a solver to determine the lowest-cost transportation solution for moving grains from supplying to demanding districts. Optimal transportation routes and costs are presented separately for each grain type based on the given data and assumptions around single-direction transportation costs and considering only first-level grain movements.

Problem statement

This case is about intrastate and Interstate Food grains

movement taking place in Andhra Pradesh, mostly via railways. Intrastate movement can be classified in two steps of movement, in the first step grains are sent from farmers/millers to the depot in the same district. In the second step, commodity is transferred to a depot in the same state or in the different state. Distance between districts and cost of transportation has been provided, an optimal transportation solution needs to be determined.

Data Available from case


Exhibit-1 provides a monthly movement plan for

coarse, fine and superfine grains. This plan is for May 1989. Exhibit-2 provides cost matrix between one district to another district. Karimnagar is one district where train route is not available. Road transportation cost is = (Distance between a district to Karimnagar)*0.05 /quintol Above mentioned data will be used with Solver to determine optimal solution.

Analysis
Analytical information is present in the below excel sheet:

Note: This spreadsheet has been also uploaded separately on black board assignment link along with the PPT. In case you are facing problem opening it, please refer to other attachment in blackboard.

The problem has been analyzed only for first movement of

grains, because distance data is not available for second movement. Solver has been used to determine optimal solution separately for coarse, fine and super fine grains. Road distance for Karimnagar has been taken from web and the distance is multiplied by 0.05 to determine transportation cost per quintol

Analysis
Worksheet pasted on slide 4, contains optimal

solution for coarse, fine and superfine grains as shown below:

Assumptions
Analysis has been made on following assumptions: Only first transfer has been considered while deriving the optimal solution. Supply and Demand requirement has been gathered based on the grain movement of May 1989. Transportation solution has been determined for each of the grains (coarse, fine and superfine) separately. It has been assumed that transportation cost remains same between two districts , either way. For Karimnagar, transportation cost has been determined base d on the actual distance provided on internet between two districts.
