Abstract
We proposed a penalty-based allocation strategy to solve Transportation Problems. This method is also implemented to address an unbalanced transportation problem. The effectiveness of the proposed method is assessed by comparing it with other existing methods such as Least Cost Method, North West Corner Method, Vogel’s Approximation Method and MODI’s Optimality Method. We presented the detailed manual calculations and computational approaches for the proposed algorithm to address the problem. We utilized MATLAB R2016a to evaluate the solutions of both the proposed and existing methods. The constructed code is generated to effectively solve problems of any size particularly tackling cost matrices and supply-demand vectors of dimensions m*n.

In this paper, we present a novel approach to solving transportation problems, termed the Least Demand Least Cost Method (LDLCM). This method prioritizes allocation based on the least demand and least cost, offering an alternative to traditional methods such as the Northwest Corner Method (NWCM), Least Cost Entry Metho...

Commonly used in math to discover the optimal solution to a problem with straight-line goals and limits is the technique of linear programming (LP). One of its first and most important applications is the Transport Problem (TP), which aims to find the best distribution strategy that meets supply and demand without sacr...
