Problem 6-02 (Algorithmic)

Consider the following network representation of a transportation problem:

The supplies, demands, and transportation costs per unit are shown on the network.

  1. Develop a linear programming model for this problem; be sure to define the variables in your model. If constant is "1", it must be entered in the box.
    Let xij = amount shipped from supply node i to demand node j.
    Min x11 + x12 + x13 + x21 + x22 + x23
    s.t.
    x11 + x12 + x13
    x21 + x22 + x23
    x11 + x21 =
    x12 + x22 =
    x13 + x23 =
    x11, x12, x13, x21, x22, x23 0
  2. Solve the linear program to determine the optimal solution. Enter "0" if your answer is zero.
