Abstract

Transportation Problem (TP) is the exceptional case to obtain the minimum cost. A new hypothesis is discussed for getting minimal cost in transportation problem in this paper and also Vogel’s Approximation Method (VAM) and MODI method are analyzed with the proposed method. This approach is examined with various numerical illustrations.
