Abstract
Integration of optimization and simulation modeling can be used to aid industrial decision-making. A decision aid for coordinating fishing (trawler operations on the sea) and fish processing at on-shore plants is described. The system combines a simulation model with a linear programming (LP) optimization model. The simulation model analyzes trawler operations, including catch generation, length of fishing trips, and trawler landings. The LP model uses simulation output to model and analyze plant operations.
