Abstract

Quantities of commodities are transported in sequence from a source to a receiving location in accordance with a logistic program through which constraints based on conditions at the source and receiving location are imposed so as to regulate timing of commodity transport involving a minimized number of sequential transits during usage for delivery at a rate in excess of the usage rate to maintain a specified inventory reserve at the receiving location.
