Chapter 6. 1.0 TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM The transportation problem is a special class of the linear programming problem. It deals with the situation in which a commodity is transported from Sources to Destinations. The objective is to determine the amount of commodity to be transported from each source to each destination so that the total transportation cost is minimum. EXAMPLE 1.1 A soft drink manufacturing firm has m plants located in m different cities. The total production is absorbed

Algorithm to Calculate Basic Feasible Solution using Simplex Method Abstract: The problem of maximization/minimization deals with choosing the ideal set of values of variables in order to find the extrema of an equation subject to constraints. The simplex method is one of the fundamental methods of calculating the Basic Feasible Solution (BFS) of a maximization/minimization. This algorithm implements the simplex method to allow for quick calculation of the BFS to maximize profit or minimize loss

Initial Problems of Pakistan Pakistan came into existence on 14th august 1947. Soon after its establishment Pakistan faced number of problems. Most of the problems of Pakistan were related with Pakistan dispute with India‚ such as the accession of the princely states‚ canal Water dispute‚ refugees’ problems and distribution of armed and military assets. Infect most of these problems were deliberately created by India itself so that Pakistan would not maintain its independent status and soon merged

focus of experiment 4 was to teach a student the basic solubility rules of salts in aqueous solutions. After developing and using a scheme for the qualitative analysis of three cations in an aqueous mixture‚ a student would use a centrifuge to identify‚ precipitate‚ and separate the three ions in the mixture. After becoming familiar with all three cations‚ the student would use the scheme again to identify at least two of the cations in an unknown solution. In order to begin the separation process‚ HCl

Executive Summary North West Company will move towards a “pull strategy” within its supply chain. Pull production is based on actual or consumed demand and individual store managers will monitor this. The benefit of localization for North West will be a higher inventory turnover rate. The benefit for customers will be a more customized shopping experience based on their community. The potential risks are there are high costs involved in implementing a new database system and procurement decisions
