0-1 Mixed Integer Programming for a Newly Merged Metropolis to Develop MSW Management Systems

Kaohsiung City and County, had been merged into one administrative entity on 25, Dec. 2010. A New plan for managing the municipal solid wastes (MSW) has to be implemented in time in order to provide services of equal quality to all residents without delay. In this research, the theory of (0, 1) mixed integer programming is applied to develop the optimal mathematical model, and using Lingo software programs to verify the optimal model.
