- ASAP PLEASE.. The distribution of goods from the source (factory) to the target (warehouse) will cause problems regarding TRANSPORT, namely how the goods are sent from the factory to the warehouse which produces minimum costs. If it is known that - the capacity of 3 factories is 40000, 30000 and 20000, - the need for 3 warehouses is 20000, 50000 and 30000 respectively. The cost of shipping goods from the factory to the warehouse is shown in the following table Solve the above TRANSPORTATION problems with VAM and MODIConsider the following linear programming problem: Max 3A + 3B s.t 2A + 4B < 12 6A + 4B < 24 A,B > 0 a.

The DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED CO. will be producing the same new product at two different factories, and then the product must be shipped to two warehouses, where either factory can supply either warehouse. The distribution network available for shipping this product is shown in Fig. 3.13, where F1 and F2 are the two factories, W1 and W2 are the two warehouses, and DC is a distribution center. The amounts to be shipped from F1 and F2 are shown to their left, and the amounts to be received at W1 and W2 are shown to their right. Each arrow represents a feasible shipping lane. Thus, F1 can ship directly to W1 and has three possible routes (F1 → DC → W2, F1 → F2 → DC → W2, and F1 → W1 → W2) for shipping to W2. Factory F2 has just one route to W2 (F2 → DC → W2) and one to W1 (F2 → DC → W2 → W1). The cost per unit shipped through each shipping lane is shown next to the arrow. Also shown next to F1 → F2 and DC → W2 are the maximum amounts that can be shipped through these lanes. The…
