SOLUTION AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF TRANS-SHIPMENT PROBLEM USING A MINIMUM SPANNING TREE APPROACH
Get PDFPurpose: Transportation problem plays an important role in operations research. The more generalized cases of transportation problems are trans-shipment problems. Further, the trans-shipment problems may have a set of trans-shipment nodes, or the source/destination nodes themselves act as the trans-shipment nodes. The study of the trans-shipment problems and their solution methodology is the goal of this paper.
Methodology: The solution of a trans-shipment problem could be done by transferring it to a transportation problem. Further, there exist various conventional methods for solving the transportation problem. The present paper discusses about the scope of application of an existing heuristic algorithm directly over the trans-shipment problem. The heuristic is based on the minimum spanning tree approach. We implement the algorithm over a test problem and further compare its performance by the performance of the corresponding algorithm Vogel’s Approximation Method.
Main findings: The spanning tree approach gives a better solution or almost the nearby solution as compared to the solution obtained by Vogel’s Approximation Method.
Implications: The solution obtained by the spanning-tree approach takes lesser computational effort to reach a better feasible solution.
The novelty of study: The algorithm to deal with the trans-shipment problem i.e. for finding the feasible solution of the trans-shipment problem is the main focus of this paper.Transportation Proble
