    The document describes several transportation problems: 1) A product must be transported from 4 factories to 4 stores, with given production capacities, costs, and store requirements. The goal is to minimize total production and transportation costs. 2) A company must transport products from 3 factories to 4 distribution centers, with given capacities, demands, and transportation costs. The problem is to find the optimal transportation schedule and minimum cost. 3) A tobacco company must distribute products from 4 warehouses to 3 cigarette companies, with given capacities, demands, and shipping costs. The goal is to find the optimal distribution and determine if multiple solutions exist.
