"THE DOMINANT CELL METHOD; OPTIMAL SOLUTION FOR LINEAR TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM"

This research offers a new method to accomplish the optimal solution (O.S) of transportation problem (T.P) in linear programming (L.P). It is simple and direct unlike the current method which requires mostly two stages; one for feasible basic solution (FBS) and the other for developing it in to optimal solution (O.S) by stepping stone Method (SSM) or Modified Distribution Method (MDM). The proposed method is called ʻʻ Dominant cell Method ʼʼ (DCM).
