7 April 2009: GPN of the TOTAL group chose POEM for developing decision support tools on the transport of GPN's products. The project aims to balance the transport by different transporters all over France. This planning problem consists in allocating transport volumes to transporters as well as authorized transport modes in taking into account demands of provinces, localities of depots, localities of transporters, capacities of different transport modes, minimal and maximal transport volumes allowed for each transporter, etc.

      GPN, a company of TOTAL, is the first French maker of nitrogen products.
