An effective algorithm to solve cost minimising transportation problem

From MaRDI portal





Summary: The developed algorithm in this article provides an initial basic feasible solution (IBFS) of the transportation problem (TP) of the linear programming problem. The proposed method, which involves fewer calculations and fewer steps or iterations, is able to provide a better approximate solution to the TP than classical methods, especially Vogel's approximation method (VAM). This method is also easier and more effective than some recent methods to solve TPs, which were introduced by various researches. This article illustrates the simplicity and effectiveness of the developed algorithm by providing a good number of examples.
