Transportation Problem

A transportation problem is a type of optimization task that involves determining the most efficient way to move goods from multiple sources (like warehouses) to multiple destinations (such as stores or customers), while minimizing transportation costs and meeting supply and demand constraints. It aims to find the optimal distribution plan that ensures all locations receive or send their required quantities without excess or shortages, optimizing resources and reducing expenses. This problem is common in logistics and supply chain management to improve operational efficiency.
