Question
Consider the following Transportation problem:
| Factory | Godowns | Stock Available | ||||||||
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | |||||
| A | 7 | 5 | 7 | 7 | 5 | 3 | 60 | |||
| B | 9 | 11 | 6 | 11 | - | 5 | 20 | |||
| C | 11 | 10 | 6 | 2 | 2 | 8 | 90 | |||
| D | 9 | 10 | 9 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 50 | |||
| Demand | 60 | 20 | 40 | 20 | 40 | 40 | ||||
It is not possible to transport any quantity from Factory B to Godown 5. Determine:
(a) Basic Feasible Solution by Vogel’s Approximation Method.
(b) Optimum solution using MODI method
Answer :
Word Count : 665
To find the optimum solution using MODI method, we need to first find the initial basic feasible solution using Vogel's approximation method. Let's write the initial transportation table:
| Factory | Godowns | Stock Available | ||||||||
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | |||||
| A | 7 | 5 | 7 | 7 | 5 | 3 | 60 | |||
| B | 9 | 11 | 6 | 11 | - | 5 | 20 | |||
| C | 11 | 10 | 6 | 2 | 2 | 8 | 90 | |||
| D | 9 | 10 | 9 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 50 | |||
| Demand | 60 | 20 | __________ __________ _____ _________ _______ ______ ____ ______.||||||||
