FINDING THE BEST SOLUTION TO SOLVE THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM WITHIN THE BUDGET CONSTRAINT

Abstract

The problem of transport is one of the most important methods that contribute to the appropriate decision-making in the transport of goods or materials from their sources of manufacture or production to their requesting entities at the lowest possible cost. In this research we will clarify the mathematical transport model of the transport problem of different cost vehicles and using a modern algorithm that contributes to the optimal solution. This model has proven its efficiency in reducing the total transportation costs of the product, and the results show that the final cost of the stores is as high as (19) thousand dinars compared to the budget set for the cost of transportation which amounted to (50) thousand dinars and it is clear from the application of this model that it has achieved profits in value (31) thousand dinars, so the modern algorithm is one of the methods that helps decision makers to make the right decision in productive and economic establishments being easy to apply and more efficient in application.
