75 Industrial Size Test Case Results are compared with historical data by fixing volume sourced from each plant. 12

76 Industrial Size Test Case Results are compared with historical data by fixing volume sourced from each plant. Historical Model: Volume sourced is fixed to historical data. Production and distribution subproblems do not need to be solved simultaneously. Production subproblems can be solved for each plant. 12

77 Industrial Size Test Case Results Comparison of volume sourced: optimal model solution vs historical data. 13

78 Industrial Size Test Case Results Comparison of volume sourced: optimal model solution vs historical data. Optimal solution shifts production and distribution from plant P 1 to plant P 4, mainly due to lower electricity costs at P 4 13
