Abstract
Finding an initial basic feasible solution is the prime requirement to obtain an optimal solution for the transportation problems. In this paper, two methods are proposed to find an initial basic feasible solution for the transportation problems. The South-East Corner Method (SECM) and the North-East Corner Method (NECM) are adopted to compute the Initial Basic Feasible Solution (IBFS) of the transportation problem. A comparative study is carried out with existing methods like Vogel’s approximation method (VAM) which is to find an initial basic feasible solution and Modified Distribution (MODI) Method which is to find the optimal solution and the methods are also illustrated with numerical examples.
