    The document discusses the transportation tableau, which presents transportation data in a concise format with rows for supply sources and columns for demand points. The availability of each supply point is listed in the availability column, and the objective function coefficient, or cost, of each decision variable is shown in the upper right corner of each tableau cell. The main objective of transportation models is effective distribution of goods and services at minimum cost, and models can be balanced if total demand equals supply or unbalanced if demand differs from supply, where dummy rows or columns are added.

    The Transportation Tableau

    • The special structure of a transportation model allows for


    the presentation of data in a concise format known as
    transportation tableau
    • The transportation tableau has one row for each supply
    sources and column for each demand points.
    • The supply availability of each point is given in “Availability
    Column” to the right of the main body of the tableau
    • The “Box-in” values in the upper right hand corner in each
    tableau cell is the objective function co-efficient (or cost) of
    the relevant decision variable.
    •
    The Transportation Model
    • The main objective of transportation model is to have
    effective distribution of goods and services and more so at
    the minimum cost possible
    • There are balanced and unbalanced transportation
    problems.
    • When total demand is equal to the total supply, it is a
    balanced transportation problem
    • When total requirement by the customer is not up to the
    source capacity is called an unbalanced transportation
    problem
    • When the model is unbalanced, a dummy row or column is
    added to the table with zero transportation cost
