A GM Method for Solving Solid Transportation Problem

Abstract

‘GMmethod’ is proposed to solve Solid Transportation Problem which uses the concept of modular arithmetic. In this method given problem with three constraints is solved by considering three different forms and minimal answer (maximal answer) from allanswers of possible forms is considered as best settlement solution of given minimization (maximization) STP. Proposed method is structured in an algorithm and illustrated by numerical examples. It is also coded in MATLAB for the user to use it with ease.
