Capacity Attributes

Minimum Capacity

Sheets on which it appears: Supplier, Supplier Product, Production, Production Routing, Warehouse, Warehouse Product, Inventory, Inventory Product, Transport Cost, Stepwise Transport Cost
Possible inputs: Any number equal or greater than 0
How it affects the model: The minimum value of the inbound and outbound for Supplier, Warehouse…etc. Only with Available attribute the minimum capacity constraint is just conditional, in the sense that the model may close the facility, but if it decides to keep it open it will take the Minimum capacity into account. If both Available and Force Open attributes are defined then the constraint must be met. For example, if the Warehouse has minimum capacity (10000) and it is only Available and not Force Open, the model may close the facility, so effectively there will be no minimum capacity, and the model will be feasible. But if the Warehouse is available and force open the inbound/outbound of the warehouse can not be less than the minimum capacity or the model is infeasible.

Possible inputs: Any number equal or greater than 0
How it affects the model: The maximum value of the inbound and outbound for Supplier, Warehouse…etc. If it is defined, this constraint always must be met.
