Table 7: Results of three scenarios

All three scenarios validated the working of the model. It is important to note that, while the
basic scenario was solved optimally, the other three scenarios were not. Instead, good feasible
solutions were obtained using a special branching strategy in the Branch and Bound procedure,
because of the computation time involved. This branching method and the important issue of
computational efficiency, is elaborated on next.
