Optimal policies for maintaining a supply service in the Norwegian Sea
This paper considers the real problem of determining an efficient policy for a supply operation in the Norwegian Sea, where a number of offshore installations are serviced from an onshore depot by supply vessels. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect on the total supply cost of having...
