This folder contains two optimization codes for FFAR pasteurized milk project.
Paper: Optimizing pasteurized fluid milk shelf-life through microbial spoilage reduction
Authors: Forough Enayaty-Ahangar (corresponding author), Sarah Murphy, Nicole Martin, Martin Wiedmann, and Renata Ivanek
This paper was published in the Frontiers journal (Front. Sustain. Food Syst., 08 July 2021 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fsufs.2021.670029 ).
There are two Python codes in this folder for the two optimization models:
- "MPBOP.py" file: this code has the model for the milk processor budget optimization problem (MBBOP)
- "MPSLOP.py" file: this code has the model for the milk shelf-life optimization problem (MSLOP)
They read from 24 input data files (8 small, 8 medium, and 8 large processor instances) and then solve the problems using the Gurobi solver.
If you have any difficulties running the codes, please contact the corresponding author at forough.enayaty@gmail.com.
