About this document

TOCM-SUM Approach for Transportation Problems by Sugandhi Gupta is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a new heuristic method for obtaining an initial basic feasible solution for a transportation problem. The method, termed TOCM-SUM Approach, involves transforming the transportation cost matrix into a total opportunity cost matrix (TOCM) by subtracting minimum costs from other costs in each row and column. Pointer costs are then calculated for each row and column of the TOCM by summing entries. Allocations are made to the lowest-cost cell corresponding to the highest pointer cost, wi
