William J. Stevenson 8th edition

2 The Transportation Model
CHAPTER 8s The Transportation Model Operations Management, Eighth Edition, by William J. Stevenson Copyright © 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. McGraw-Hill/Irwin

3 Requirements for Transportation Model
List of origins and each one’s capacity List of destinations and each one’s demand Unit cost of shipping Note: The DVD that accompanies this book contains a module that provides detailed instruction on the transportation model

4 Transportation Model Assumptions
Items to be shipped are homogeneous Shipping cost per unit is the same Only one route between origin and destination

5 The Transportation Problem
Figure 8S.1 D (demand) S (supply)

6 A Transportation Table
Table 8S.1 Warehouse 4 7 1 100 12 3 8 200 10 16 5 150 450 80 90 120 160 A B C D 2 Factory Factory 1 can supply 100 units per period Total supply capacity per period Total demand per period Demand Warehouse B can use 90

7 Special Problems Unequal supply and demand
Dummy: Imaginary number added equal to the difference between supply and demand when these are unequal Degeneracy: The condition of too few completed cells to allow all necessary paths to be constructed

8 Summary of Procedure Make certain that supply and demand are equal
Develop an initial solution using intuitive, low-cost approach Check that completed cells = R+C-1 Evaluate each empty cell Repeat until all cells are zero or positive

9 Excel Template Figure 8S.2
