Optimal Solution of a Transportation Problem using Harmonic Mean Approach Rule

Abstract

Operational research includes a wide range in problem solving techniques and decision making in various real life situation. Finding Initial Basic Feasible Solution (IBFS) the transportation problem is one of the best Rules in Linear Programming Problem (LPP). Not only in Linear Programming Problem but also in finding optimal solution. The Transportation Problem is considered as an important aspect that has been studied in a large scale of operations including in research domains and it mainly used to reduce the cost. As such the Transportation Problem used in simulation of several real life problems. Here, the optimizing transportation problem of variables has unique been significant to numerous disciplines. The main approach of the work to transport the products from one destination to another destination where the total cost to shift the product is to minimize and the transportation time is reduced. To achieve the minimum cost a new Rule Harmonic Mean Approach (HMA) is introduced. Some real-world examples are illustrated.
