Abstract

The transportation problem is the sub-classes of linear programming problems. The objective of transportation is to transport various quantities of single undifferentiated products. These are commodities stored at different origins to different places. These products are to be transported in such a way that the total transportation cost is least where the source parameter (ei) may be production facilities godwns etc. and the destination parameter (dj) may be ware house, sales depot etc. The penalty cij i.e. the coefficient of the objective function could show of transportation cost, delivery time, number of goods transported unfulfilled demand and many others. Thus the multi-objective transportation problem is multiple penalty criteria may present concurrently which leads to research work.
