Define transportatiom problem explain feasible basic feasible optimum
Answers
A feasible solution (not necessarily basic) is said to be optimal if it minimizes the total transportation cost. To solve a transportation problem first we need to find an initial basic feasible solution and then get an optimum solution.
Hope this will help you!!!
The transportation problem is a special type of linear programming problem where the objective is to minimise the cost of distributing a product from a number of sources or origins to a number of destinations. Because of its special structure the usual simplex method is not suitable for solving transportation problems.
A feasible solution is a set of values for the decision variables that satisfies all of the constraints for the optimisation problem. An optimal feasible solution is a feasible solution that also optimises the objective function.
