Question
What do you mean by balanced transportation problem?
Advertisements
Solution
The balanced transportation problem is a transportation problem where the total availability at the origins is equal to the total requirements at the destinations.
i.e `sum_("i" = 1)^"m" "a"_"i" = sum_("j" = 1)^"n" "b"_"i"`
A feasible solution can be obtained to these problems by Northwest comer method, minimum cost method or Vogel’s approximation method.
