Assignment Problem The assignment problem is a special case of transportation problem where the objective is to minimize the cost or time of completing a number of jobs by a number of persons or to maximize the profit of completing a number of jobs by a number of persons. Suppose there are $n$ jobs to …
Vogel’s Approximation Method (VAM) Vogel’s approximation method is an improved version of the least cost entry method. It gives better starting solution as compared to any other method. Consider a general transportation problem with $m$ origins and $n$ destinations. Origin Destination $D_1$ $D_2$ $\cdots$ $D_j$ $\cdots$ $D_n$ Availability $O_1$ $c_{11}$ $c_{12}$ $\cdots$ $c_{1j}$ $\cdots$ $c_{1n}$ …

Transportation Problem Transportation problem is a special class of linear programming problem that deals with transporting (or shipping) a commodity from various origins or sources (e.g. factories) to various destinations or sinks (e.g., warehouses). In this type of problem the objective is to determine the transportation schedule that minimizes the total transportation cost while satisfying …
