2$\begingroup$ The NPTEL lecture series on operations research: nptel.ac.in/courses/112106134 has a number of examples. The solver ILOG CPLEX is shipped with a number of coding examples. You can find the corresponding mathematical model online. $\endgroup$– batwingApr 11, 2020 at 20:19

you may get many different answers but the one I have used for 20+ years is

Many models are in the OPL CPLEX examples and some other here
