Q3. An organisation has three production centres P1, P2 and P3 that supply products to
four warehouses W1, W2, W3 and W4. The monthly production capacities of the three
2. production centres are 160, 150 and 190 units, respectively. The monthly demand of
warehouses is 80, 90, 110 and 160 units, respectively. The transportation cost per unit (in
rupees) is shown in following Table
Warehouses
W1 W2 W3 W4Production Centres
P1 10 12 8 15
P2 12 14 18 9
P3 15 12 20 16
Discussion questions:
1. How many units should an organisation supply to warehouses so that the total
transportation cost is minimised?
2. Calculate Total Transportation Cost
Answer: Construct the transportation cost matrix table, which is as follows:
Availability = 160+150+190=500
Requirement = 80+90+110+160=440
In the given case, the total supply exceeds
