The article demonstrates that, where premium/penalty payments as a function of quality characteristics and customer apply to commodities provided by a supplier from alternative locations to alternative customers, the use of linear programming for “optimal” allocation without specifically recognizing premium/penalty payments in the L.P. model may substantially sub-optimize overall allocation profit opportunities. A numerical example for a commodity with two different quality characteristics having different premium/payment structures is given to illustrate this fact. Also, administrative considerations which must be addressed to successfully implement the approach are identified. |
