Multi-object Optimization of rice transportation and distribution in Malaysia

Abstract

Malaysia Rice covers the profile and production of types of rice and most Malaysian people are taking rice as the main daily meal. In today’s green-advocated world, to comlete rice transpotation and distribution more efficiently can have more energy-saving significance. Therefore, this paper proposes a new way to process rice transportation and distribution in Malaysia, by using multi-object or goal programming solution with the first goal of maximizing rice production, the second goal of maximizing farmed areas and the thirty goal of minimizing the cost of rice transportation from minimized distribution. The present method can also be extended if it has more than eight alternatives for specific goals. Finally, the optimal solutions of transportation and distribution problem are obtained successfully.
