Abstract:
In a transportation problem, we have certain origins, which may represent factories where we produce items and supply a required quantity of the products to a certain number of destinations. Our objective is to find the transportation pattern that will minimize the total transportation cost. The classic statement of the transportation problem uses a matrix with the rows representing sources and columns representing destinations. There are many tools to model a transportation problem (Lingo, TORA, WinQsb). However, the purpose of this work is to model a transportation problem through Lingo.
