Solving Unbalanced Transportation Problems with Budgetary Constraints
نویسنده
چکیده
A new method namely, interval-point method without using fuzzy set theory is proposed for finding an optimal solution for unbalanced transportation problems with budgetary constraints where demand and budget are imprecise. With the help of numerical example, the proposed method is illustrated. The proposed method enables the decision makers to choose the optimal distribution according to their budget.

In this paper, a constrained shortest path problem (CSP) in a network is investigated, in which some special plans for each link with corresponding pre-determined costs as well as reduction values in the link travel time are considered. The purpose is to find a path and selecting the best plans on its links, to improve the travel time as most as possible, while the costs of conducting plans do ...
متن کاملA Sensitivity Analysis and an Implementation of the Well- Known Vogel’s Approximation Method for Solving Unbalanced Transportation Problem
Though, in the literature, many heuristic approaches were developed in getting an initial solution, VAM (Vogel’s approximation method) is considered to be a better efficient heuristic approach since it often provides an optimal or near optimal solution to the transportation problem. In general, transportation problems involved in supply-chain management fields are unbalanced (total supply > tot...
