TRANSPORTATION MODEL (1)

The document discusses a transportation model used in linear programming to minimize costs associated with transporting a homogeneous commodity from various sources to different destinations. It outlines three methods for finding an initial basic feasible solution: North-West Corner Rule, Least Cost Method, and Vogel’s Approximation Method. Additionally, it presents a practical problem faced by Abensala Company in optimizing their transportation logistics.

Transportation Model Initial Basic Feasible Solution to
deals with a special class of Transporation Problem - Methods:
linear programming problem in
which the objective is to
transport a homogeneous North-West Corner Rule Method
commodity from various
sources (origins) to different starts with allocating units to the upper left-hand
destinations of a total minimum corner of any transportation problem
cost.
Least Cost Method
Business Use
prioritizes allocating units to cells with the lowest
This model is used for: transportation costs first
Minimizing Transportation Costs
Supply Chain Optimization Vogel’s Approximation Method
Resource Allocation
Inventory Management considers the penalty cost of not using the cheapest
Production Planning available rate

Transportation Problem Formula


Balanced: Supply = Demand
Unbalanced: Supply ≠ Demand
∑[(allocation × cost coefficient)
Problem Solving
Abensala Company is a manufacturing company that shifts their products
from one warehouse to another. Using the three methods, find the feasible
solution for the transportation problem faced by Abensala given below:
