Abstract
The Operations Research (OR) project described here involved an application of linear programming to help plan a major expansion of the Babcock and Wilcox Tubular Products Division (TPD) at Ambridge, Pennsylvania. Project Ambridge, the largest facility expansion yet undertaken by Babcock and Wilcox, will require a capital investment of about $49 million. This project will enable TPD to compete successfully for an expected increase in customer demand.
