Extract: Cheese yields are directly related to the level of protein in raw milk. Multiple goal programming and heuristic vehicle routing techniques are used to evaluate the trade-offs between revenues and farm-to-plant hauling costs resulting from protein-based assignments of milk producers to cheese and fluid processing plants. Increased assembly costs are shown to be minor in comparison with the revenue gains from increased cheese yields.
