A Supply Selection Method for better Feasible Solution of balanced transportation problem

作者：

Highlights：

• Transportation Problem (TP) is delivering the product from supply to demand.

• Initial Basic Feasible Solution (IBFS) influences the optimal solution of TP.

• Supply Selection Method (SSM) is proposed to find the IBFS.

• SSM selects the cell with the largest allocation, if the differences are same.

• SSM satisfies the First Least Cost, if the supply is same.
