Question 1142330: a) Highlight the assumptions in a transportation model.
b) Describe the following terms as used in transportation problems
i. Feasible solution
ii. Basic feasible solution
iii. Optimal solution
c) A product is produced by four factories, A, B, C and D. The unit production costs in them are £2, £3,£1 and £5 respectively. Their production capacities are: factory A- 50 units, B-70 units, C- 30 units and D- 50 units. These factories supply the product to four stores whose demands are 25, 35, 105 and 20 units respectively. Unit transport cost in rupees from each factory to each store are given in table 2 below
TABLE 2

Factories

A
B
C
D STORES
1 2 3 4

10 8 7 5
13 3 9 12
4 6 8 3

Required:
Determine the extent of deliveries from each of the factories to each of the stores so that the total production and transportation cost is minimum

I am personally very glad for you studying so advanced subjects.

They go FAR from the standard curriculum of the school Mathematics,

which is the focus of our teaching in this forum.

Apparently, no one of our tutors is familiar with this area or is an expert in it.

So, please find another site/forum to satisfy your curiosity . . .

Have a nice day . . .

And, please accept my advise:   never put many problems into your post.

The rule of this forum is :

        One and only one problem per post
