Abstract

In this chapter, the LNG supply chain is introduced, and two planning problems related to the transportation planning and inventory management within the chain are presented. The two problems have different characteristics and reflect the planning situations for a producer and a vertically integrated company, respectively. Both problems are formulated as mixed integer programs, and possible solution methods are briefly discussed.
