Abstract :

The transportation model is a special case of linear programming models, widely used in the areas of inventory control, employment scheduling. Aggregate planning, and personnel assignment, among others. Due to its special structure, the stepping-stone method is commonly adopted in order to improve the computational efficiency instead of the regular simplex method. This paper proposes a new approach, new algorithm named, Improved Next to Next Minimum Penalty Method is proposed for solving Transportation problem. This algorithm is more efficient than other existing algorithms. The procedure for the solution is illustrated with a numerical example.
