Abstract This paper proposes an optimization scheme of the transportation assignment for the oil product secondary distribution. Firstly, for the multi-variety oil product a cost model of the secondary distribution system for the oil product is established. Then a transportation assignment scheme is designed with the table-manipulation method. Based on the proposed transportation assignment sch...

In real world applications the supply, the demand and the transportation cost per unit of the quantities in a transportation problem are hardly specified precisely because of the changing economic and environmental conditions. It is also important that the time required for transportation should be minimum. In this paper a method has been proposed for the minimization of transportation cost as ...

the objective of this study was to develop a cost minimizing pattern for cube sugar and sugar transportation from production centers to refinement and storage centers and finally to distribution and consumption  centers in  fars province. producing centers are marvdasht (27.3%), eghlid (27.9%), fasa (11.3%), kavar (7.3%) and mamasani (20.2%). some of the province’s cube sugar and sugar is provi...
