## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
Let \( x_{d,s} \) be the number of devices of type \( d \) shipped to shop \( s \).  
- \( d \in \{1, 2, 3\} \) (device types)  
- \( s \in \{101, 102, 103\} \) (shops)  

#### Objective Function
Minimize the total shipping cost:  
\[
\text{Minimize } Z = \sum_{d} \sum_{s} c_{d,s} \cdot x_{d,s}
\]  
Where \( c_{d,s} \) is the shipping cost for device \( d \) to shop \( s \).  

#### Constraints
1. **Demand Fulfillment**:  
   \[
   x_{d,s} \geq q_{d,s} \quad \forall d, s
   \]  
   Where \( q_{d,s} \) is the demand for device \( d \) at shop \( s \).  

2. **Storage Capacity**:  
   \[
   \sum_{d} x_{d,s} \leq C_s \quad \forall s
   \]  
   Where \( C_s \) is the storage capacity of shop \( s \).  

3. **Non-Negative Shipments**:  
   \[
   x_{d,s} \geq 0 \quad \forall d, s
   \]  

#### Data Source Verification
- **Shipping Cost (\( c_{d,s} \))**: From `shipping_cost.cost`.  
- **Demand (\( q_{d,s} \))**: From `demand.quantity`.  
- **Storage Capacity (\( C_s \))**: From `storage_capacity.capacity`.  

#### Numerical Coefficients from Data
- \( c_{1,101} = 12.5 \), \( c_{2,102} = 18.0 \), \( c_{3,103} = 15.0 \)  
- \( q_{1,101} = 60 \), \( q_{2,102} = 80 \), \( q_{3,103} = 70 \)  
- \( C_{101} = 250 \), \( C_{102} = 300 \), \( C_{103} = 200 \)  

#### Complete Linear Model
\[
\text{Minimize } Z = 12.5x_{1,101} + 18.0x_{2,102} + 15.0x_{3,103}
\]  
Subject to:  
\[
x_{1,101} \geq 60, \quad x_{2,102} \geq 80, \quad x_{3,103} \geq 70
\]  
\[
x_{1,101} + x_{2,101} + x_{3,101} \leq 250
\]  
\[
x_{1,102} + x_{2,102} + x_{3,102} \leq 300
\]  
\[
x_{1,103} + x_{2,103} + x_{3,103} \leq 200
\]  
\[
x_{d,s} \geq 0 \quad \forall d, s
\]  

This is a complete, immediately solvable linear programming model.

## 8. Cross-Solver Analysis and Final Recommendation

### Solver Results Comparison

| Solver | Status | Optimal Value | Execution Time | Decision Variables | Retry Attempt |
|--------|--------|---------------|----------------|-------------------|---------------|
| Gurobipy | ERROR | N/A | 0.17s | N/A | 4 |
| Docplex | ERROR | N/A | 1.03s | N/A | 4 |
| Pyomo | ERROR | N/A | 0.82s | N/A | 4 |

### Solver Consistency Analysis
**Result**: Solvers produced inconsistent results
**Inconsistent Solvers**: gurobipy, docplex, pyomo
**Potential Issues**:
- Data length mismatch between shipping cost, demand, and device/shop dimensions.
- Incorrect data preprocessing or formatting.
- Missing or inconsistent data entries in the input files.
**Solver Retry Summary**: gurobipy: 4 attempts, docplex: 4 attempts, pyomo: 4 attempts

### Final Recommendation
**Confidence Level**: LOW
**Preferred Solver(s)**: none
**Reasoning**: All solvers failed due to the same data length mismatch error, indicating a fundamental issue with the input data that must be resolved before proceeding.

### Business Interpretation
**Overall Strategy**: The optimization model cannot be solved due to data inconsistencies, preventing any meaningful business decision.
**Objective Value Meaning**: The total shipping cost cannot be minimized due to unresolved data issues.
**Resource Allocation Summary**: Resource allocation cannot be determined until the input data is corrected.
**Implementation Recommendations**: ['Verify and correct the input data to ensure consistency in dimensions and values.', 'Re-run the optimization model with validated data.', 'Investigate the data preprocessing pipeline to prevent similar issues in the future.']
