In this paper, we consider a multi-index constrained transportation problem (CTP) of axial constraints with bounds on destination requirements, source availabilities, and multiple types of commodities. The specified problem is converted into a related transportation problem by adding a source, a...

In this paper, we develop a simple algorithm for obtaining the global solution to a small scale fixed-charge transportation problem (FCTP). The procedure itself is very quick. The proposed method solves FCTP by decomposing the problem into series of smaller sub-problems, which is novel and can...

Nowadays, organizations have to compete with different competitors in regional, national and international levels, so they have to improve their competition capabilities to survive against competitors. Undertaking activities on a global scale requires a proper distribution system which could...
