Transportation Problem - Stepping Stone Method.MTS

Transportation Video 5 of 7
Example 2

Two examples of the Linear Programming Transportation Problem are given. The first is videos 1, 2, and 3. The second is videos 4, 5, and 6.
* The Least Cost Method (sometimes called the Low Cost Method or the Minimum Cost Method) is use to find the initial feasible solution. This method typically gets you closer to a solution than the Northwest Corner Method.
* The Stepping Stone Method is the second video in the series and is a good teaching tool to aid in the understanding of how to reach an optimal solution.
* The 3rd video in each Series is the MODI or Modified Distribution Method and is the best way to solve a Transportation Problem.

Thank you very much Sir, you explained this method in just 5min

Little mistake A to E is 10 [16-7 +10-9], not 9. Also I heard that in logistic calculate cost ton/ km, that mean self cost, how much cargo we can transport to one point to other. That mean for instance 100 km distance. Track can take 20 ton cargo, cost is 20/100=0.2 [ t/km]. When distance for instance is 160 km, number will be  0.125 [t/km].

This is so short and gr8
My teacher thought a very lengthy way for stepping stone method ! ! ❤️from 🇮🇳

[mrprince]

You guys got that 11 years back. We are still studying it 😅. Anyways we are Indians 🇮🇳

ΜΑΝ, im giving an exam next week and this is the only thing that i didn't understand in the class. So i watched this and finaly got it and im ready to rock :P  Thanks and Greetings from a greek student. Liked the vid too :)

1. To move (add) into cell CF we must take away from either cell BF or CE. Cell BF is the smaller of the two choices. We can only ship positive amount of product. If we used 200 we would have to ship a negative amount in cell BF to keep Demand total. But simple remember to use the smaller of the two values. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for the video. It is super helpful. Nevertheless, AE is 10 as can be seen in the MODI (basically same methods) video (16-7+10-9=10).

[alexschubertcomedy]

thanks for the help, and i don't mean to be picky, but 16-7+10-9 is actually 10, not 9. great video though, really helped me out a lot

[driphard]

Great video !! helped me a lot, thank you and greetings from an german student

[steverussellss]

A to E = 10 anyway, thank you help me a lot to pass my quiz :D, my class is a bit noisy so i can't understand my teacher.

[kimcharlenetyne]

Umm seems like students have the brains here.... I also get 10. Sorry Ed - your adding is wrong...

[ydsvnfld]

how about if all the answers in the eval row is negative? which one should you use ? or zero?

[thesantiago]

Explained so much better than my professor did. Thank you, sir.

[hfp]

Thanks, this is soooo much simpler than what I was taught!
One question though, how do you figure out the amount to add ans substract? i.e. how did you work out 150? Why not 50 or 200? Thanks!

[bassemsamuel]

Super helpful and straight to the point explanation thanks a lot!!

[kouroshsassanid]

hello can you do North West Column-Transportation problem method as well.
i would really appreciate it 

[rutholusegun]

Wow, this well explained. I understood it perfectly. I had previously watched another youtube video explaining it but I was confused but now I fully understand. Thank you

[iriefija]

I was absent when my professor taught this.. This video helped a lot! Thank you so much.

[EdDansereau]

Thank you and good luck in your course.
