DINAS Dynamic Interactive Network Analysis System A Tutorial Example

This paper describes a tutorial example for the Dynamic Interactive Network Analysis System (DINAS) which enables the solution of various multi-objective transshipment problems with facility location using IBM-PC microcomputers. The system utilizes an extension of the classical reference point approach to handling multiple objectives. DINAS is prepared as a menu-driven and easy to use system armed with a special network editor which reduces to minimum effort associated with defining real-life problems. As the tutorial problem we use an artificial part of the real-life model connected with a sugar-beet transshipment system.
