The Advance Method for the Optimum Solution of a Transportation Problem

Reena G Patel | P. H. Bhathwala

Abstract: Transportation problem is one of the predominant areas of operations research, widely used as a decision making tool in engineering, business management and many other fields. In this paper, we present The Advance method for the optimum solution of a Transportation Problem. is proposed to find an optimum solution. The algorithm for proposed method discussed in this paper gives an initial as well as either optimal solution or near to optimal solution. The Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the proposed algorithm. It can be seen that the proposed algorithm gives an optimal solution nearly comparable to MODIs method in less time period.

Keywords: Transportation, optimality, basic feasible solution, linear programming, optimal solution
