The
Electric
Power
Research
Institute
(EPRI)
Utility
Fuel
Inventory
Model
(UFIM)
helps
to
perform
fuel
inventory
analysis
and
develop
inventory
management
strategies.
UFIM
develops
money-saving
fuel
inventory
policies
that
offer
the
best
balance
between
holding
costs
and
shortage
risks.
Using
UFIM,
you
can
analyze
your
current
inventory
policy
and
compare
it
with
the
UFIM's
suggested
least-cost
policy
taking
into
account
your
plant's
uncertainties,
burn
requirements,
and
operating
constraints.
UFIM
is
developed
in
conjunction
with
fuel
planners
from
utilities
across
the
country.
Numerous
case
studies
have
been
performed
with
the
model
during
years
of
testing
on
actual
inventory
systems.
As
a
result
of
this
experience,
UFIM
is
an
extremely
flexible
tool
with
a
broad
range
of
applications.

Imagine
India
Software
updated
the original
UFIM,
implemented
in Fortran/C
for the
DOS platform,
to the
Windows
platform
using
Visual
Basic,C
and MS
Access.
The new
UFIM version
4.0 uses
Visual
Basic
for the
GUI (
menus,
forms,
and reports),
uses C
for the
calculation
engine,
and Access
Database
for storing
case data.
This version
can easily
be extended
to work
with SQL
server.
