CONCLUSIONS AND FURTHER RESEARCH the algorithm offers more realistic model of RND problem the model is smaller size and scalable new constraints can be embedded in the model model can be extended to multicriteria case further research are needed for evaluating the quality of the proposed methods on broader test of instances approximate solutions should be compared to exact solutions (CPLEX package) to evaluate their quality
