Transportation problem in operational research

A feasible solution can be obtained to these problems by Northwest comer method, minimum cost method (or) VogelвЂ™s approximation method. International Journal of Operational Research, 2016 Vol.27 No.4, pp. The transportation problem in operational research is concerned with finding the minimum cost of transporting a single commodity from a given number of. The balanced transportation problem is a transportation problem where the total availability at the origins is equal to the total requirements at the destinations. Keywords: transport problem multi-objective decision making MODM goal programming multi-choice programming utility function. Finally, a real-life problem on TP is considered to show the feasibility and usefulness of our paper. It deals with sources where a supply of some commodity is available and destinations where the. To overcome this difficulty, here we propose the approaches of revised multi-choice goal programming (RMCGP) and utility function into the MOTP, and then compared the solution between them. A typical transportation problem is shown in Fig. Using GP, the solution of MOTP may not be satisfied all time by the decision maker (DM) when the proposed problem contains interval-valued aspiration level. Most of the multi-objective transportation problems (MOTP) are solved by goal programming (GP) approach.
