An application of the transportation method of linear programming to a production planning problem of a large footwear manufacturer is described. Factors affecting the choice of approach are discussed ...

With fluctuating sales, a manufacturer must have fluctuating production, or fluctuating inventory, or both. Penalties are associated with either type of fluctuation. Several papers place this problem ...

In this study, we propose an exact method for optimizing a linear function over the efficient set of a multi-objective transportation problem (MOTP). This type of problem arises when a decision maker ...
