Abstract

Purpose of the study: The transportation problem has a huge application in logistics. Therefore, dealing a transportation problem with permissible constraints is always an interesting area. In the present paper, we have tried a version of transportation problem which is constrained in nature. We have explored strategies for dealing the subset constrained transportation problem.
 Methodology: An updated version of matrix minima method is proposed in this paper. This version is used for subset constrained transportation problem only. We have also applied the mathematical model for solving the same subset constrained transportation problem.
 Main Findings: The mathematical model gives an optimal solution of the constrained transportation problem with the help of software. It is found that the proposed updated matrix minima method does not guarantee the optimality. However, we use the matrix minima approach for having an idea of the closer feasible solution. It is found that the mathematical model is always a superior way to find an optimal solution.
 Applications of this study: The study has a huge application in logistics.
 Novelty/Originality of this study: An updated version of matrix minima method is proposed. The method is applied on constrained transportation problem and the results are compared with the optimal solution.
