Solution:

The transportation problems can be represented mathematically as a linear programming model. The

Objective function in this problem is to minimize the total transportation cost given by

Z = c11x11+ c12x12+ ... + cmnxmn

Subject to the restrictions:

Row restrictions:

x31 + x32 + x33 + x34 = 10

Column restrictions:

x11 + x21 + x31 + x41 = 4

x12 + x22 + x32 + x42 = 6

x13 + x23 + x33 + x43 = 8

x14 + x24 + x34 + x44 = 6

And

x11 + x12 + x13 + x14 ≥ 0

It should be noted that the model has feasible solutions only if

The above is a mathematical formulation of a transportation problem and we can adopt the linear
programming technique with equality constraints. Here the algebraic procedure of the simple method
may not be the best method to solve the problem and hence more efficient and simpler streamlined
procedures have been developed to solve transportation problems.

Question No: 47 ( Marks: 3 )

A firm produced three products. These products are processed on three different machines. The time
required to manufacturer one unit of each of the three products and the daily capacities of the three
machines are given in the table:

Time per unit (minutes) Machine Capacity

Machines Product 1 Product 2 Product 3 (minutes / day)

M1 2 3 2 440

M2 4 --- 3 470

M3 2 3 --- 430

It is required to determine the daily number of units to be manufactured for each product.

The profit per unit for product 1, 2 and 3 is Rs. 4, Rs. 3 and Rs. 6 respectively. It is assumed that all the
amounts produced are consumed in the market. Write the constraints of above Linear Programming
Problem.

Answer

Step 1

Find the key decision to be made. The key decision is to decide the extent of product 1,2&3 to
be produced as this can vary.

Step 2
 P a g e | 10

Assume symbols for the extent of production. Let the extent of Product 1,2&3 be X1, X2 & X3.

Step 3

Express the feasible alternatives mathematically in terms of variables. Feasible alternatives are
those which are physically, economically and financially possible. In this example, feasible
alternatives are sets of values of x1, x2 & x3, where x1,x2 &x3 ≥ 0 since negative production
has no meaning and is not feasible.

Step 4

Mention the object quantitatively and express it as a linear function of variables. IN the present
example, objective is to maximize the profit.

i.e. Maximize Z = 4x1+3x2+6x3

Step 5

Express the constraints as linear equations/inequalities in terms of variables.

Here, constraints are o the machine capacities and can be mathematically expressed as

2x1 + 3x2 + 2x3 ≤ 440,

4x1 + 0x2 + 3x3 ≤ 470,

2x1 + 5x2 + 0x3 ≤ 430.
