Abstract:

This report presents a new method to compute a more nearly optimal initial basic feasible solution for the Transportation Model. The integration of two techniques 1 The Decision Index DI and 2 An Admissability Index AI, have resulted in 50 to 75 percent reductions in computer run time required to derive an optimal solution.
