Here, the number of allocation is equal to m + n - 1 = 3 + 4 - 1 = 6

The solution is feasible.
Total Transportation cost = 11 200 + 13 50 + 18 175 + 10 125
+ 13 275 + 10 125 = 12075
The minimized total transportation cost = 12075

D1 refers to shivaji nagar
D2 refers to viman nagar

Conclusion : - It shows if they increase there supply to viman nagar .
And if they meet the demand of viman nagar that will help to
decrease their cost and increase their turn over

Prof .Rajeshree, Guide Prof. Shilpa Mujumdar.
We would also like to thank Cadbury Pvt Ltd and
specially the managing director for his help in

appreciation and love goes to our families and
for sure this would not have happened without
their unconditional support, love and care.

Source of data
Data is collected by survey from internet, the following are the webpages
that data was collected:
P.K Gupta, and D.S Hira, Operation Research, S. Chand Company Ltd.,
2004
http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:518851/fulltext01
The data is collected for period 2013-2014.

Methodology for data analysis:

Transportation problem is a member of a category of linear programming
(LP) called Network flow problem which deals with the distribution of
goods from several points of Supply (sources) to a number of points of
demand (destination). It involves finding an Initial solution.

Methods

used for calculation of the data are:-

VAM (Vogels Approximation Method)

This method also takes costs into account in allocation. Five steps are involved in applying this heuristic:
Step 1:Determine the difference between the lowest two cells in all rows and columns, including dummies.
Step 2:Identify the row or column with the largest difference. Ties may be broken arbitrarily.
Step 3:Allocate as much as possible to the lowest-cost cell in the row or column with the highest
difference. If two or more differences are equal, allocate as much as possible to the lowest-cost cell in these
rows or columns.
Step 4:Stop the process if all row and column requirements are met. If not, go to the next step.
Step 5:Recalculate the differences between the two lowest cells remaining in all rows and columns. Any
row and column with zero supply or demand should not be used in calculating further differences. Then go
to Step 2.
The Vogel's approximation method (VAM) usually produces an optimal or near- optimal starting solution.
One study found that VAM yields an optimum solution in 80 percent of the sample problems tested.

Least

Cost Method
Least cost method, we start giving allocations from the minimum
cost in the matrix. It means that cell for which cost is minimum is
given allocation first. Then allocation is given in next minimum cost
and so on. It means lower cost cells are given priority over higher

Where as in NWCR, there is no priority to lower cost cells. We start

giving allocation from 1stNorth West corner, then next North West
corner and so on. Hence, generally, the Initial solution obtained
by LCM is lower than that by NWCR.
Hence, LCM solution isnearer to the optimalsolution as compared
to NWCR solution. Hence, LCM is a better method than NWCR.

We also used easy calculation to calculate the data.
