Transportation Problem • Required information: • Supply/source points and their capacity • Demand/destination points and their capacity • Unit cost of shipment for all routes • Representation methods: • Graphical • Mathematical • Transportation tableau IE 416, Chap 7, Sept 2009
Balanced Transportation = * If > add dummy demand point with capacity = - , Cij= 0 * If < add dummy supply point with capacity = - , Cij= penalty cost IE 416, Chap 7:1, July 98
Added Transportation Practical Simplex Application Application Dummy Create balanceExtra capacity not used. Demand Cij = 0Do not produce or find new demand points Dummy Create balanceDemand not met. Supply Cij = penaltyCan find new supplier or add to the capacity IE 416, Chap 7, Feb. 99
