This research addresses and analyzes the results of a six-sigma approach used to optimize the logistics costs of a pipe manufacturing company. Two mathematical models are developed for containers to control the company’s logistics. The Mathematical Programming Language (MPL) software is used to generate and solve these models. The results verify that the proposed mathematical models result in the company’s logistics improvement, especially in the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, and control) cycle by providing flexibility in choosing the most appropriate containers for logistics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
