Transportation Method Example - Least Cost Method for Initial Feasible Solution

www.EdDansereau.com/transportation.html Transportation Video 4 of 7 Example 2 Initial Feasible Solution Two examples of the Linear Programming Transportation Problem are given. The first is videos 1, 2, and 3. The second is videos 4, 5, and 6. * The Least Cost Method (sometimes called the Low Cost Method or the Minimum Cost Method) is use to find the initial feasible solution. This method typically gets you closer to a solution than the Northwest Corner Method. * The Stepping Stone Method is the second video in the series and is a good teaching tool to aid in the understanding of how to reach an optimal solution. * The 3rd video in each Series is the MODI or Modified Distribution Method and is the best way to solve a Transportation Problem.
