About this tool

Transportation Problem

The concept

The transportation model ships from supplies to demands at minimum total cost.

How it works

A cost matrix links sources to sinks; LP finds the cheapest feasible flow.

Winning strategy

Degenerate-looking corner solutions are normal - trust the reduced costs.
