The solution is given in the CONOUT= arc1 data sets. In the CONOUT= data set, shown in Output 3.1.1, the variables diagonal, factory, key_id, and mth_made form an implicit ID list. The diagonal variable has one of two values, 19 or 25. factory also has one of two values, 1 or 2, to denote the factory where either production or storage occurs, from where TVs are either sold to shops or used to satisfy backorders. production, storage, sales, and backorder are values of the key_id variable.

Other values of this variable, f1_to_2 and f2_to_1, are used when flow through arcs represents the transportation of TVs between factories. The mth_made variable has values March, April, and May, the months when TVs that are modeled as flow through an arc were made (assuming that no televisions are stored for more than one month and none manufactured in May are used to fill March backorders).

These ID variables can be used after the PROC INTPOINT run to produce reports and perform analysis on particular parts of the company’s operation. For example, reports can be generated for production numbers for each factory; optimal sales figures for each shop; and how many TVs should be stored, used to fill backorders, sent to the other factory, or any combination of these, for TVs with a particular screen, those produced in a particular month, or both.

Output 3.1.1: CONOUT=ARC1
