APPLICATIONS-
- Minimize shipping cost
- determine low cost location
- find minimum cost production schedule
- military distribution system
Applications of transportation problems
in real life.
- to find out locations of transportationcorporations
depots where insignificant
total cost difference may not
matter.
- used to compute transportation routes in such a way as to minimize transportation cost for finding out locations of warehouses.
conclusion
Two types of transportation problems-
- balanced transportation problems.(TS=TD)
- unbalanced transportation problems
transportation problem has many real life applications and therfore one must be aware of it
. (
Transportation problems?
