Abstract

This paper demonstrates another useful application of a generalized goal programming technique to a utility to resolve a real-world resource allocation problem. This model is basically formulated and developed from a productivity framework, the relationship between output and input variables. The output is defined as kilowatt hours generated by the inputs, such as capital investments, labor, fuel, purchased power and miscellaneous materials. Top priorities are assigned to the productivity growth and demand satisfaction which have to be achieved first. Four case studies, each having a specified combination of priority levels allotted to various goals, are under investigation to illustrate the tradeoffs among resources utilized to meet the productivity goal as well as customers' demand.
