FIRST PRIZE WINNER ($700)

                      New Beer in the Market:  In this project, the strategy to capture markets, including advertisement, is modeled together with the beer plant capacity. Taking into
                     account transportation costs of raw material and products, operating costs, a planning model optimizes plant capacity and location as well as the choice of markets.
