Sources: These are the locations where products or resources are available.
Destinations: These are the locations where products or resources are needed.
Supply: The amount of products or resources available at each source.
Demand: The amount of products or resources required at each destination.
Unit transportation costs: The cost of transporting one unit of the product or resource from a source to a destination.
Supply nodes are locations where resources are sourced, demand nodes are places that require those resources, and transportation costs reflect the expense of moving a unit from each supply node to each demand node.
Supply nodes are points where resources are available, demand nodes are locations requiring those resources, and costs represent the expense of transporting a unit from each supply node to each demand node.
Supply nodes are locations with available resources, demand nodes are those needing resources, and costs refer to the expense of shipping a unit from each supply node to each demand node
The basic components of a transportation model include supply at sources, demand at destinations, transportation costs, and decision variables representing the quantities shipped.
The basic components of a transportation model include supply nodes, which represent the sources of goods; demand nodes, indicating the locations where goods are needed; the cost of transporting goods between supply and demand nodes; and the capacity constraints at supply nodes and demand nodes, which limit the amount of goods that can be shipped or receives.
Supply nodes (origins): Locations with available resources.
Demand nodes (destinations): Locations needing resources.
Costs: The expense of shipping a unit from each supply node to each demand node.
