t indicates the amount of consignment to be transported from various sources to different destinations so that the total cost is minimized with available resources. Transportation problems have number of origins and destinations. The origin of a transportation problems is the location from which consignment are transported. The destination of a transportation problem is the location where consignments are reached Example: A manager has four factories and four warehouses.
