The provided code implements the Vogel's Approximation Method (VAM) for solving transportation problems, where the goal is to minimize the total transportation cost from several suppliers to several ...
The NorthWest Corner Method is a basic approach that starts at the top-left (northwest) cell of the cost matrix and allocates as much as possible to that cell, then moves either down or right, ...
Abstract: We propose a new algorithm that breaks ties in the allocation decision making process and improves the performance of the standard Vogel’s approximation method (VAM). The proposed algorithm ...
