Example 7.7 Using a Constrained Solution Warm Start

Suppose the 25-inch screen TVs produced at factory 1 in May can be sold at either shop with an increased profit of 40 dollars each. What is the new optimal solution? Because only arc costs have been changed, information about the present solution in DUALOUT=dual4 and CONOUT=con4 can be used as a warm start in the following PROC NETFLOW run. It is still necessary to specify CONDATA=con3 SPARSECONDATA RHSOBS='CHIP/BO LIMIT', since the CONDATA= data set is always read.

  title 'Using a Constrained Solution Warm Start';
  title2 'Production Planning/Inventory/Distribution';
  data new_con4;
     set con4;
     oldcost=_cost_;
     oldflow=_flow_;
     oldfc=_fcost_;
     if _tail_='f1_may_2' 
        & (_head_='shop1_2' | _head_='shop2_2')
        then _cost_=_cost_-40;
     run; 
proc netflow
   warm 
   arcdata=new_con4 
   dualin=dual4
   condata=con3 
   sparsecondata 
   rhsobs='CHIP/BO LIMIT'
   dualout=dual5 
   conout=con5;
