A manufacturing company has three warehouses and four retail outlets. The monthly demand at each retail outlet is 100, 150, 200, and 250 units, respectively. The monthly supply from each warehouse is 300, 250, and 200 units, respectively. The transportation cost per unit from each warehouse to each retail outlet is given in the following table: From/To Retail outlet 1 Retail outlet 2 Retail outlet 3 Retail outlet 4 Warehouse 1 5 6 7 8 Warehouse 2 4 5 6 7 Warehouse 3 3 4 5 6 Using the above information, answer the following questions: a) Draw a well labelled network diagram of the manufacturing company B. Establish the decision variables of the transportation problem. C. Formulate a transportation problem to determine the optimal allocation of supplies from the warehouses to the retail outlets to minimize total transportation cost. D. Using the North West Corner Rule (NWC), find the minimum total cost.

An individual is planning to take an 800-mile trip
between two large cities. Three possibilities exist: air,
rail, or auto. The person is willing to pay $25 for every
hour saved in making the trip. The trip by air costs
$650 and travel time is 10 hours, by rail the cost is
$450 and travel time is 15 hours, and by auto the cost
is $250 and travel time is 20 hours.
Which mode is the best choice?
