STEPPING STONE METHOD
The next step is determining whether the present allocation at any stage of the
solution process is ideal.
The Stepping-Stone method originates its name from the analogy of crossing a
pond using stepping-stones. The occupied cells are analogous to the
stepping-stones, which are used in making certain movements in this method.
Since all net cost change ≥ 0, then final optimal solution is obtained.
The minimum total transportation cost
