Abstract

This paper deals with the various ways in which the requirements of a certain strategic material could be met in a period of limited war. Besides a small stock of ores to draw on at the beginning of the period, high‐quality foreign ores have to be imported or low‐quality domestic ores made suitable for the production of alloys. In the latter case, however, the plants for upgrading and processing the ores first have to be constructed. The objective is to meet the requirements, assumed here to be given for the years of limited war, at minimum cost. The cost function contains, besides linear, also quadratic terms, positive as well as negative ones. Two recently developed computational methods have been used to solve the problem.
