An important extension is to make the LP-relaxation stronger byadding valid inequalities. This is the idea behind Branch & Cut. In each node in the search tree we add, if possible, one orseveral valid inequalities. We study a simple knapsack problem toillustrate the idea.

The standard approach is to branch on variables with fractionalvalues. For some applications (e.g. set-partitioning models)this is very weak and gives a large search tree. In someset-partitioning models where a variable is set to one, manyvariables are set to 0. If the variable is set to 0, essentiallynothing happens. To get at better balance we can choose to do aso-called constraint branching.
We will illustrate the technique with a set-partitioning model.Constraint branching means that two new subproblem is created byrequiring that a set of variables should sum to 0 or 1 instead ofa single variable. In a LP-solution to a set-partitioning modeleach constraint or object (to be partitioned) will be covered byone or several variables/columns (representing alternatives).

Practical considerationsThe number of rolls in a pattern is limited. The number of different rolls in a pattern is limited. Some rolls are not allowed to be in the same pattern. Some rolls must be included in the same pattern. There is a maximum allowed trim loss.Demand is given as a target value with bounds on under- and overproduction.

Normal variable branching is not effective– There are very few 0/1-variables with value 1 (out of a
very large number of possible)– The 1-branch is too strong (most often creating
infeasible solutions)– The 0-branch is too weak (there are many similar
production plans)– Procedure creates a huge Branch and Bound tree

Constraint branching enables a moreefficient strategyGiven a fractional LP-solution:– Sum the fractional usage of each receipe for each time
period and pulp mill– choose the usage closest to 1.0 and branch on this
• for example: use receipe S90Z at day 14 in mill Mönsterås
– the branch is easy to implement in the subproblem i.e. simply remove certain arcs

Quantifiable benefits (i)Increased Efficiency – The efficiency improvement, which is calculated as more contact
hours to less cost and with increased service quality, was 12 percent. For example, the ordinary staff could make 12 percent more visits in the same working time while having a better competence match and visiting the same clients.
– Morning meeting times have decreased by two-thirds;– In the City of Stockholm, the time spent for developing schedules
for each of the 15,000 care workers in the city’s home-help units can be lowered by an average of 10-12 minutes every day. On an annual basis, this corresponds to 310-375 full-time annual equivalents.

Quantifiable benefits (ii)Transportation In Bengtsfors the driving distance is 20 percent lower than previously
Sick Leave In Jakobsberg, the annual short-term sick leave fell from 563 days to 166.
Quality and Safety – In Jakobsberg, the number of missed visits (forgotten, delayed, or
rebooked) fell from 91 to 4. – In Bengtsfors, where staff had previously had many discussions about
which staff member should perform which visit, these discussions almost ceased because the system is totally objective.
– Aurskog-Høland employs highly qualified nurses; better skill matching allows 22 percent of the nurses to be used for work requiring their specific skills.

Unquantifiable benefits (i)Clients – The risk of forgetting visits is reduced significantly. – Easier to control the continuity among member of staff visiting a client. – The reporting makes it possible to follow up, e.g., to review the overall care
hours.
Staff – Work in the home-care sector can be stressful. The removal of the often-
turbulent last-minute morning meetings has removed one stress factor. – Creating routes that such that work is distributed fairly among the staff
members, and that allow for realistic travel times between visits has also alleviated stress.
– The system can also schedule work tasks, such as meetings, documentation, and administration.
– Better usage of employee skills could also raise the status of the home-care profession.

The storm GudrunDuring the weekend of January 8-9 2005 the storm Gudrun (hurricane winds) hit southern part of Sweden.More than 70 million m3 was blowned down; this corresponds to one full annual harvest for Sweden. Damage often at ”difficult” locations.Important function in the infrastructure was out of order: electricity, phones, transportation etc.The value of wood alone is 30 billion SEK approx. 3.2 billion Euros.Worst forest damages in Sweden for the last 100 years.

Resource limitations– Trucks (ton*km)– Harvest capacity (different machine types)
New decisions: harvesting, storage – binary variables needed
Wood value– Current and new industrial orders– Roadside storage of logs– Terminal storage of logs– Trees not harvested

Some important factors:
The storm felled forest for Sveaskog was not “harbour close”.The logistics costs associated with deliveries to/from harbours were relatively high.Truck and transportation capacities were the most limiting factors.Model size:– 4,500 constraints– 195,000 variables

Experiences and what happened The weather conditions with deep snow made the operations difficult. When the snow depths was less, the harvest level increased rapidly.More medium and large units than expected arrived. Instead of 54-59-32 (large-medium-small harvest units) there were 64-74-14 units. Increase in the number of trucks was slower and it was not until the middle of April when there was a balance between truck and harvesting capacities (84 trucks were in operation).

Experiences and what happenedThe storm felled volumes were less than the estimations (measured 2,45 against estimated 3,1 million m3). The volume carried by train was planned to be at 369,000 m3 and this was the level in practice. The average distance for the trucks was 83 km (2004: 97 km). The total volume carried on trucks were 1,73 million m3. The transportation work on train was 47% of the total work with an average distance of 340 km. This transportation work on train represented 64 trucks.The volume carried by ship was smaller than planned (23,000 against 52,000 m3). One reason for this was a Finish strike.

Concluding remarksQuick and efficient change of logistic system not possible without OR support.OR models easy to solve, modelling relatively easy due to ”similar” model and cost structures difficult to compute.Project possible with dedicated manager at Sveaskog.Increased acceptance of OR for non-OR persons at Sveaskog.

Concluding remarksThere are many general and advanced solvers and modeling languages available (CPLEX, XPRESS, COIN-OR, AMPL, EXCEL, MPL, GAMS, etc) for discrete optimization.There are many specific solvers available for particular applications/ models (TSP, VRP, GAP, Facility location, Knapsack, etc.)Actual implementations require knowledge in both modeling and solution methods.Data is available through databases. But, care needs to be taken for error in data.Trends: Robustness, uncertainty, real-time, coordination, even larger and detailed models
