Abstract

The most important and successful applications in the optimaization refers to transportation problem (tp), that is a special class of the linear programming (lp) in the operation research (or). Transportation problem is considered a vitally important aspect that has been studied in a wide range of operations including research domains. As such, it has been used in simulation of several real life problems. The main objective of transportation problem solution methods is to minimize the cost or the time of transportation. An Initial Basic Feasible Solution(IBFS) for the transportation problem can be obtained by using the North-West corner rule, Miinimum Cost Method and Vogel’s Approximation Method. In this paper the best optimality condition has been checked. Thus, optimizing transportation problem of variables has remarkably been significant to various disciplines.
