The Resource Recovery Planning Model: A New Tool for Solid Waste Management (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Resource Recovery Planning Model: A New Tool for Solid Waste Management
Over the past decade, there has been a proliferation of mathematical models attacking such issues as facility location, vehicle routing and manpower planning. Due to unrealistic data requirements or the complexity of using and interpreting the model's results, the application of these models to the solid waste management problem has often been disappointing. More recent modeling approaches have attempted to couple the analytical power of the computer with the ability to organize the thoughts of the decision maker systematically so that important pieces of information are not overlooked. From these experiences, it is possible to define a set of criteria that any model which purports to deal with solid waste management problems should satisfy. At a minimum, the model should be able to capture explicitly the effects of alternative financial and cost-sharing arrangements, allow for economies of scale, and be amenable to sensitivity analysis associated with a well-chosen set of what-if questions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces Resource Recovery Planning (RRPLAN), a new tool for waste management that enables both public and private sectors to analyze the economic issues associated with alternative solid waste management programs. The RRPLAN model was developed with three purposes in mind: to generate a preferred plan for resource recovery; to evaluate a scenario specified by the decision maker for technical and economic feasibility; and to facilitate the decision-making process by providing answers to many what-if questions through an in-depth sensitivity analysis. This book covers the full range of solid waste management problems, ranging from basic landfill options to complex marketing arrangements for recoverables as special cases. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
