Use a constrained optimization approach incorporating available inventory, purchase cost, metallic yield, chemistry, residual limits, density, furnace requirements and production schedule. The cheapest feasible blend is the one minimizing total expected steelmaking cost while satisfying operational and metallurgical constraints.
