    The document describes 6 transportation problems involving minimizing shipping costs between suppliers and demand locations. Problem 1 provides a transportation tableau and asks to develop a linear programming model to minimize total cost using different solution methods. Problem 2 involves shipping units from 2 factories to 3 warehouses and calculating total cost using different methods. Problem 3 increases warehouse demands for Problem 2. Problem 4 provides a transportation tableau and asks to find an initial basic feasible solution using different methods. Problem 5 provides a transportation cost table between warehouses and distribution centers and asks to develop a linear programming model and find the optimal solution using different methods. Problem 6 provides a transportation cost table and asks to find the total cost using the North-West corner rule.

    Assignment – 3 - Transportation

    Problem 1:
    - A transportation tableau is given below. Each cell represents a shipping route (which is an arc on the
    network and a decision variable in the LP formulation), and the unit shipping costs are given in an
    upper right hand box in the cell.
    Develop a linear programming model to minimize the total transportation cost & Determine the total
    cost to the following transportation problem using the North-West corner rule, minimum cost method
    and Vogels approximation method (VAM)

    D1 D2 D3 supply
    S1 15 30 20 50
    55
    S2 30 40 30
    35
    Demand 25 45 10

    Problem 2:
    - John Galt Shipping wishes to ship a product that is made at two different factories to three
    different warehouses. They produce 18 units at Factory A and 22 units at Factory B. They need
    10 units in warehouse #1, 20 units in warehouse #2, and 10 units in warehouse #3. Per unit
    transportation costs are shown in the table below. Compute the total cost By using North West
    Corner, minimum cost method and Vogels approximation method(VAM).

    Warehouse #1 Warehouse #2 Warehouse #3


    Plant A $4 $2 $3
    Plant B $3 $2 $1

    1
    Problem 3:

    - Assume that in Problem 2 the demand at each warehouse is increased by 4 units. Now how
    many units should be shipped from each factory to each warehouse?

    Problem 4:

    Determine an initial basic feasible solution to the following transportation problem using the North-
    West corner rule, :

    D1 D2 D3 D4 Availability

    O1 6 4 1 5 14

    O2 8 9 2 7 16

    O3 4 3 6 2 5

    Requirement 6 10 15 4

    Problem 5:
    - A national catalog and Internet retailer has three warehouses and three major distribution centers
    located around the country. The transportation costs ($/unit) between warehouses and distribution
    centers, the supply at the warehouses, and the demand at the distribution centers for a specific week
    are shown in the following table:

    Warehouse Distribution Center Supply

    A B C D

    1 4 7 7 1 100

    2 12 3 8 8 200

    3 8 10 16 5 150

    Demand 80 90 120 160 450

    a) Develop a linear programming model to minimize the total transportation cost and Simple Network
    Representation

    b) Find the optimal solution to the problem to minimize the total transportation cost By using North West
    Corner, minimum cost method and Vogels approximation method(VAM).

    Problem 6 :
    A transportation problem involves the following costs, supply, and demand:
    To Warehouse 1 Warehouse 2 Warehouse 3 Factory
    From Capacity
    Factory 1 $5 $4 $3 250
    Factory 2 $8 $4 $3 300
    Factory 3 $9 $7 $5 300
    Warehouses 300 200 200
    requirements

    - Find total cost for the transportation problem using the North-West corner rule.
