    Transportation & Assignment Problem (LPP Approach)


    1. To solve the following Transportation Problem develop Excel Model and find minimum
    transportation cost with transportation schedule.
    D1 D2 D3 Supply
    F1 14 18 18 76
    F2 26 34 26 82
    F3 18 26 34 77
    Demand 72 102 20

    2. A manufacturer has distribution centers at Agra, Allahabad and Kolkatta. His retail outlets are
    at A, B, C and D. The transport cost in rupees per unit between each center-outlet is given
    below.
    A B C D Supply
    Agra 60 40 40 50 40
    Allahabad 35 30 100 45 20
    Kolkatta 40 60 95 35 40
    Demand 25 10 20 45

    Determine the optimal distribution so as to minimize the cost of transportation by


    developing Excel Model.
    3. A marketing manager has five salesman and five sales districts. Considering the capabilities
    of the salesman and the nature of districts, the marketing manager estimates that the sales per
    month (in hundred rupees) for each salesman in each district would be as follows:

    Districts
    A B C D E
    S1 42 48 50 38 50
    S2 50 34 38 31 46
    Salesman S3 51 37 43 40 47
    S4 32 48 51 46 46
    S5 39 43 50 45 49

    Develop Excel Model and find the assignment of salesman to districts that will result in
    maximum sales.
    4. Five workers are available to work with the machines and the respective costs in rupees
    associated with each worker-machine are given below. A sixth machine is available to replace
    one of the existing ones and the associated costs of that machine are also given below.
    Machines
    M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6
    W1 12 3 6 15 5 9
    W2 4 11 16 5 14 8
    Workers W3 8 2 10 9 7 5
    W4 20 7 8 6 12 10
    W5 5 8 9 4 6 1

    i. Develop Excel Model to solve above Assignment Problem.


    ii. Determine whether the new machine can be accepted.
    iii. Also determine the optimal assignment and the associated saving in cost.
    5. A shipbuilding company has been awarded a big contract for the construction of five cargo
    vessels. The contract stipulates that the total work to at least five small ancillary companies.
    The company has invited bids from the small ancillary companies. The bids received from the
    ancillary companies are given in the following table. Which bids should the company accept
    in order to complete the contract at minimum cost? What is the total cost of the subcontract?

    Subcontract Bids (Rs.)


    Ancillary
    Company Material Fabrication Assembl Scrap
    Painting
    Testing y Removal
    A1 250000 300000 380000 500000 150000

    Q, R and S, with daily requirements of 230, 200, 450 and 420 units respectively. Per unit
    transportation cost on different route combinations are given below. Solve this as a
    transportation problem to minimize the total transportation cost.

    Warehouses
    Plants
    P Q R S
    A 12 10 12 13
