The transportation problem is well known in the operations
research field. It has many practical applications
and there are efficient algorithms specifically designed
for this structure.
The articles in this section describe an Excel add-in
designed to teach the primal simplex method for the
solution of transportation problems.
Follow the links to see how the add-in is used. The
contents are organized as steps of the simplex method.
The examples for this section are in
the Teach Transportation demo (teachtransdem.xls). To
solve or change the model you must have the Teach Transportation
(teachtr.xla) add-in loaded. Use the Relink buttons
command to establish links to the worksheet buttons.
