5 McGraw-Hill/Irwin 6.5 Terminology for a Transportation Problem P&T Company Problem Truckloads of canned peas Canneries Warehouses Output from a cannery Allocation to a warehouse Shipping cost per truckload from a cannery to a warehouse General Model Units of a commodity Sources Destinations Supply from a source Demand at a destination Cost per unit distributed from a source to a destination

6 McGraw-Hill/Irwin 6.6 Characteristics of Transportation Problems The Requirements Assumption –Each source has a fixed supply of units, where this entire supply must be distributed to the destinations. –Each destination has a fixed demand for units, where this entire demand must be received from the sources. The Feasible Solutions Property –A transportation problem will have feasible solutions if and only if the sum of its supplies equals the sum of its demands. The Cost Assumption –The cost of distributing units from any particular source to any particular destination is directly proportional to the number of units distributed. –This cost is just the unit cost of distribution times the number of units distributed.

7 McGraw-Hill/Irwin 6.7 The Transportation Model Any problem (whether involving transportation or not) fits the model for a transportation problem if 1.It can be described completely in terms of a table like Table 6.5 that identifies all the sources, destinations, supplies, demands, and unit costs, and 2.satisfies both the requirements assumption and the cost assumption. The objective is to minimize the total cost of distributing the units.

11 McGraw-Hill/Irwin 6.11 The Transportation Problem is an LP Let x ij = the number of truckloads to ship from cannery i to warehouse j (i = 1, 2, 3; j = 1, 2, 3, 4) Minimize Cost = $464x 11 + $513x 12 + $654x 13 + $867x 14 + $352x 21 + $416x 22 + $690x 23 + $791x 24 + $995x 31 + $682x 32 + $388x 33 + $685x 34 subject to Cannery 1:x 11 + x 12 + x 13 + x 14 = 75 Cannery 2:x 21 + x 22 + x 23 + x 24 = 125 Cannery 3:x 31 + x 32 + x 33 + x 34 = 100 Warehouse 1:x 11 + x 21 + x 31 = 80 Warehouse 2:x 12 + x 22 + x 32 = 65 Warehouse 3:x 13 + x 23 + x 33 = 70 Warehouse 4:x 14 + x 24 + x 34 = 85 and x ij ≥ 0 (i = 1, 2, 3; j = 1, 2, 3, 4)

12 McGraw-Hill/Irwin 6.12 Integer Solutions Property As long as all its supplies and demands have integer values, any transportation problem with feasible solutions is guaranteed to have an optimal solution with integer values for all its decision variables. Therefore, it is not necessary to add constraints to the model that restrict these variables to only have integer values.

13 McGraw-Hill/Irwin 6.13 Location of Texago’s Facilities Type of FacilityLocations Oil fields1. Several in Texas 2. Several in California 3. Several in Alaska Refineries1. Near New Orleans, Louisiana 2. Near Charleston, South Carolina 3. Near Seattle, Washington Distribution Centers1. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 2. Atlanta, Georgia 3. Kansas City, Missouri 4. San Francisco, California

14 McGraw-Hill/Irwin 6.14 Potential Sites for Texago’s New Refinery Potential SiteMain Advantages Near Los Angeles, California1. Near California oil fields. 2. Ready access from Alaska oil fields. 3. Fairly near San Francisco distribution center. Near Galveston, Texas1. Near Texas oil fields. 2. Ready access from Middle East imports. 3. Near corporate headquarters. Near St. Louis, Missouri1. Low operating costs. 2. Centrally located for distribution centers. 3. Ready access to crude oil via the Mississippi River.
