Abstract

In this paper comparison between transportation technique and linear programming technique for any problem is presented. Though the transportation problems are the particular form of the linear programming problem, therefore the same can be solved by the simplex method but when the number of unknown quantities x_ij is large, then the procedure of finding the solution becomes very lengthy and cumbersome therefore we shall use the convenient method to solve the transportation problem. First of all initial basic feasible solution is obtained for the problem and then it is improved by iteration.
