2.1 Introduction/Definition of productivity
5
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud Productivity can be defined as the ratio of output in a period of time to the input in the same period time. Productivity can thus be measured as:
Productivity =
In simple terms productivity is the quantitative relationship between what we produce (output) and the resources (inputs) which we used.
2.2 Productivity and production:
Production is the process of converting the raw materials into finished products by performing a set of manufacturing operations in a predetermined sequence. Production refers to absolute output. Thus, if the input increases the output will normally increase in the same proportion. The productivity remains unchanged if however the output increases with the input of the resources, the productivity increases production means the output in terms of money without any regard to the input of resources , which productivity is a human attitude to produce more and more with less input of resources. There are six cases to increase the productivity as shown
output + + c ++% -% input - c - +% --%
2.3 Types of production systems:
6
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud A production system consists of plant facilitates, equipment and operating methods arranged in a systematic order. This arrangement depends upon the type of product and the strategy that a company employs to serve its customers. There are two major types of production systems:
i) Make to stock production.
ii) Make to order production.
In make to stock production the products are manufactured kept as ready stock and supplies to customers as orders are
operatio
input output
system
Examples of such items are nuts, bolts, bearings, screws, etc.
In make to order production the products are made only
Types of production
The production or manufacturing systems are classified as follows:
a) Job type production.
b) Batch production.
c) Continuous or mass production.
a) Job type production.
It is characterized by high variety, low volume production, producing one or a few products specially designed and produced according to customer specifications like aircraft, ships, special train.
b) Batch production.
7
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud Here the product similar in design but different in size and capacities are produced in batches of one size and capacity at one time, at regular interval and stocked at warehouses a waiting sales. Examples as pumps, motor etc, of different capacities and types manufactured in batches.
c) Mass (Repetitive) production.
This production is characterized by high volume low variety in this system several standard products are produced in large quantity and stocked in warehouse awaiting dispatch examples of such production, nuts bearings, t-shirts, etc.
The following fig. shows volume variety relation for different types of manufacturing systems.

3.1 Steps in B.E.P
To construct break-even point, we must know:
13
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
- Total fixed expenses at a certain target production. - Total variable cost at the same target production. - Total sales value at the same target production.
We find that the initially zero production rate, fixed cost will remain as it is variable cost will be zero. The company still suffers a loss equal to its fixed cost. As production volume increases this loss decreases but the break-even point…… 3.2 Assumptions
a) All the units remains fixed for any production volume.
b) Variable cost increase is linear.
c) Selling prices will remain constant at all levels.
d) Production and sales quantities are equal.
3.3 Formulation of linear Break-even model
This will define the minimum quantity that should be produced without any loss or profit.
Notations:
Let Q: the quantity sold
b: price (the income per unit)
R: bQ (Revenue or income)
F: fixed cost
v: variable cost per unit
p: profit
Tc: total cost = F + vQ
14
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud P= R-Tc
Quantity increase in price by making:
- Better product. - Advertisement. - New product limited by market price.
Increase in planned quantity: Increase share of market and increase those products with high profit or increase share of market with the increase price according to quantity of market.

Linear Programming Model
2011
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Linear Programming
LP is a mathematical modeling technique designed to optimize the usage of limited resources, such as available materials, labour and machine time.
The LP model includes three basic elements:
- Decision variables that we seek to determine. - Objective (goal) that we aim to optimize. - Constraints that we need to satisfy.
Steps in formulating LP problems:
1- Define the objective. 2- Define the decision variables. 3- Write the mathematical function for the objective (objective function). 4- Write a one- or two- word description of each constraint. 5- Write the right – hand side (RHS) of each constraint, including the unit of
measure. 6- Write ≤, = or ≥ for each constraint. 7- Write all the decision variables on the left-hand side of each constraint. 8- Write the cofficient for each decision variable in each constraint.
Formulation of linear programming model (LP)
The general form of each model will be:
Z= c1x1+ c2x2+……. ckxk
Subject to:
a11x1+ a12x2+……. a1kxk b1
a21x1+ a22x2+……. a2kxk b2
am1x1+ am2x2+……. amkxk b1
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
where: Cj is a known (cost or profit) coefficient Xj.
Xj is an unknown variable.
aij is a known constant.
bj is a known constant.
≤, = or ≥ for each constraint.
Example: A manager wants to know many units of each product to produce on a daily basis in order to achieve the highest contribution to profit. Production requirement for the products are shown in the following table
Production Departments I II
Processing time required for the first product
(Hours)
4 2
Processing time required for the second product
(Hours)
2 4
Production capacity available (Hours)
60 48
The profit is £8 for each unit of the first product and £6 for each unit of the second product
Solution:
1- Define the objective. The problem is a maximum problem. 2- Define the decision variables. We need to determine the number of units to
be produced. Let: Xi be the number of units of type i (i= 1,2)
Therefore : X1= number of units of the first product.
X2= number of units of the second product.
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
X1, X2 are the decision variables, when we know their values the problem will be solved.
3- The objective function for the LP is:
Maximize Z = 8X1+6X2
This means the profit Z depend on how many units (X1, X2) are manufactured. Z= c1x1+ c2x2 where c1, c2 are the respective profits for each type of product. c1=£8 c2=£6 and Z = 8X1+6X2 and we should select values of the decision variables X1, X2 that result in the maximum value of Z.
4- There are two constraints :
Maximum production capacity for Dep.I ≤ 60 hours
Maximum production capacity for Dep.II ≤ 48 hours
( Note: because all the constraints in this problem are maximum capacity , all constraints are the ≤ type)
Now we have to write the coefficient for each decision variable in each constraint.
The two constraints can be expressed as:
4X1+2X2 ≤ 60 constraint Dep.I
2X1+4X2 ≤ 48 constraint Dep.II
Consider the first constraint ( Dep.I) what is the coefficient of X1 in this constraint? It is the processing time (Hours) required per unit of X1. In other word, it is the processing time used in manufacturing each unit, first product, or 2 hours. Similarly, the coefficient of X2 in this first constraint is 1 hour.
Therefore the two constraints can be expressed as :
4X1+2X2 ≤ 60
2X1+4X2 ≤ 48
And the no. negatively restriction is all Xj≥ 0 , X1, X2 ≥ 0

Graphical LP solution:
Steps in the graphical method
1- Formulate the objective and constraint functions. 2- Draw a graph with one variable on the horizontal axis and one on the
vertical axis. 3- Plot each of the constraints as if they were lines or equlities. 4- Outline the feasible solution space. 5- Circle the potential solution points .These are the intersections of the
constraints or axes on the inner (minimization) or outer (maximization) perimeter of the feasible solution space.
6- Substitute each of the potential solution point values of the two decision variables into the objective function and solve for Z.
7- Select the solution point that optimizes Z.
Solution of maximization model
To demonstrate the steps of the graphical solution of a maximization problem we use the previous example:
Z = 8X1+6X2
Subject to:
4X1+2X2 ≤ 60
2X1+4X2 ≤ 48
X1 ≥ 0 , X2 ≥ 0
Solution:
1- Plot the constraints (shown in the following figure) change constraints to equalities:
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
4X1+2X2 ≤ 60 4X1+2X2 = 60
2X1+4X2 ≤ 48 2X1+4X2 = 48
For each constraint ( set X1=0 and solve for X2 , then set X2=0 and solve for X1)
the graph the constraint as if it were an equality
4X1+2X2 = 60 X1=15 X2=0
X1=0 X2=30
2X1+4X2 = 48 X1=24 X2=0
X1=0 X2=12
2- Outline the feasible solution space the values of X1 and X2 at points M,A,B and C are four potential solutions to problem.
Note: point B can be determined as follow:
4X1+2X2 = 60
(2X) 2X1+4X2 = 48
4X2+2X2 = 60
4X2+8X2 = 96
6X2=36
X2=36/6 = 6
Then: 4X1+2X2 = 60
4X1+2(6) = 60
4X1 = 48
X1= 48/4 = 12
Points X1 X2 Z M 0 0 Z=8(0)+6(0)=0
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
A 15 0 Z=8(15)+6(0)=120B 12 16 Z=8(12)+6(6)=132C 0 12 Z=8(0)+6(12)=72
To maximize Z, the optimal solution is point B, where X1=12 and X2=6 and Z=£132 profit.

Special cases in LP
Five special cases and difficulties arise at times when using the graphical approach to solve LP problems:
1) Infeasibility: infeasibility is a condition that arises when there is no solution to LP problem that satisfies all of constraints given.
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Graphically, it means that no feasible solution region exists- a situation that might occur if the problem was formulated with conflicting constraints.
Let us consider the following three constraints: X1+2X2 ≥6
2X1+X2 ≥8
X1 ≥7
X
Region satisfying 3rd constraint
Region satisfying first 2 constraints
X8 6 4 2

2
As seen in the figure there is no feasible solution region for this problem because of the presence of conflicting constraints.
2) Unboundedness:
Sometimes a linear program will not have a finite solution. This means that in a maximization problem, for example, one or more solution variables, and the profit, can be made infinitely large without violating any constraints. If we try to solve such a problem graphically, we will note that the feasible region is open-ended.
Let us consider a simple example to illustrate the situation.
Z = 3X1+5X2
Subject to: X1≥ 5
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
X2≤ 10
X1+2 X2≥10
X1, X2 ≥ 0
X
X2≤10
Feasible Region
X1≥ 5
X1+2 X2≥10
15
10

X5 10 15 20
As you see, because this is a maximization problem and the feasible region extends infinitely the right, there is unboundedness or unbounded solution.
3) Redundancy: The presence of redundant constraints occurs in large LP formulations, a redundant constraint is simply on that does not affect the feasible solution region.
Let us kook at the following example:
Max Z= X1+2X2
Subject to: X1+X2≤ 20
2X1+X2≤ 30
X1≤ 25
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
X1, X2 ≥ 0
X
X1≤25

5 10 15 20 25 30
The third constraint, X1≤25 is redundant and unnecessary in the formulation and solution of the problem because it has no effect on the feasible region set.
4) Alternate Optimal Solutions:
An LP problem may on occasion, have two or more alternate optimal solutions. Graphically, this is the case when the objective function’s isoprofit or isocost line runs perfectly parallel to one of the problem’s constraints.
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Ex: Max Z= 3X1+2X2
Subject to: 6X1+4X2≤ 24
X1≤ 3
X1, X2 ≥ 0

Optimum solutions consists of all combinations of X1,X2 along the AB
X

As you see any point along the line between A and B provides an optimal X1 and X2 combination Z=12
5) Degenercy:
Degenercy is a condition that arises when one of the decision variable equal zero. Look to the following example:
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Max Z = 3X1+9X2
Subject to: X1+4X2≤ 8
X1+2X2≤ 4
X1, X2 ≥ 0
Solution: X1=8 X2=2
X1=4 X2=2
Then: at point A
X1=0 X2=2 Max Z=18

Linear Programming Model
Simplex Method
2011
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Simplex Method The linear programming situation with two decision variables is easy tackled by a graphical method of solution. However most practical linear programming problem contain more than two decision variables. Graphic representation is difficult (three dimensional) and requires more time for the determination of an optimal solution. The solution method in such cases is the simplex method. The simplex method is an iterative procedure that consists of moving from one basic feasible solution to another in such a way that the value of the objective function does not decrease (in the maximization problem). This process continue until an optimal solution is reached, if one exist.
The steps required to solve the problem – maximizing are:
Step 1: Define the problem in standard form. This indicates the construction of a linear programming model.
Step 2: convert the inequalities into equation by insert slack variables.
Step 3: Construct a matrix of the coefficients of these equations.
Step 4: This step amends the previous feasible solution so as to improve the profit.
The simplex method will be illustrated with the following example.
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Example/ Consider the following LP:
Maximize Z= 6X1+8X2
Subject to:
2X1+5X2≤ 40
8X1+4X2≤ 80
X1,X2 ≥ 0
Step 1/ Conversion of inequalities into equations Add slack variables to remove inequalities
2X1+5X2 +S1 = 40
8X1+4X2 + S2= 80
Where S1,S2 slack variables (surplus) putting X1 =0 and X2 =0 we get
S1 = 40 , S2= 80
Max Z =6X1+8X2 +oS1 + oS2
Subject to:
2X1+5X2 +S1 + oS2= 40
8X1+4X2 + oS1 + S2= 80
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Step 2/ Construct the simplex tableau. The standard form can be summarized in a compact tableau form as:
Coefficient of OF
variables in basis
Basic variables
Values of basic
variables
Coefficient of OF variables
(Cj)
( Cj) (A) (q) 6 X1
8 X2
0 S1
0 S2
0 S1 40 2 5 1 0 0 S2 80 8 4 0 1 Zj 0 0 0 0 0 Cj-Zj 6 8 0 0
Initial solution: X1 = 0
X2 = 0
S1 = 40
S2 = 80
Z = 0
Zj:
Zj (q) = 40(0) + 80(0) = 0
Zj (X1) = 2(0) + 8(0) = 0
Zj (X2) = 5(0) + 4(0) = 0
Zj (S1) = 1(0) + 0(0) = 0
Zj (S2) = 0(0) + 1(0) = 0
Cj – Zj :
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
(Cj – Zj) X1 = 6-0 =6 , (Cj – Zj) S1 = 0-0 =0
(Cj – Zj) X2 = 8-0 =8 , (Cj – Zj) S2 = 0
Step 3/ identify the pivot column
X2 has max positive value (8) Thus the entering variable will be X2 in the new solution
Step 4/ identify the pivot row
, , the smallest value = 8
Thus, S1 , is the leaving variable. Replacing the leaving variable S1 with the entering variable X2 produces the new basic solution (X2, S2) and the pivot element = 5
Types:
1. Pivot row : new pivot row = current pivot row ÷ pivot element
2. All other rows , including Z:
new row = (Current row) – (its pivot column coefficient)X(new pivot row)
Type 1: computation is divide the pivot row (S1 – row) by the pivot element (5) .Thus the new row:
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Type 2: Computation is applied to the remaining row (S2- row) as follow:
80 – (4X8) = 48
8 – (4X 2/5) = 32/5
4- (4X1) = 0
0 – (4X1/5) = -4/5
1 – (4X0) = 1
The new tableau corresponding to the new basic solution (X2,S2) thus becomes:
( Cj) (A) (q) 6 X1
8 X2
0 S1
0 S2
8 X2 8
1
0
0 S2 48
0
1
Zj 64
8
0
Cj-Zj 0
0
Observe that the new tableau yields the new basic solution (X2 =8 , S2= 48 ) with the new value of Z = 64 . An examination of the last tableau shows that it is not optimal solution because the variable X1 has a positive coefficient in the (Cj-Zj) row ( )
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
An increase in X1 is advantageous because it will increase the value of Z. Thus , X1 is the entering variable.
Next, we determine the leaving variables as follow :
8 ÷ = 20 , 48 ÷ = , Thus the pivot element =
S2 is the leaving variable , X1 is the entering variable . and the new pivot row :
48 ÷ = , ÷ = 1 , 0 , ÷ =
new X2 – row : 8- ( X )= 5
- ( X 1) = 0
1- ( X0 ) = 1
- ( X ) =
These Computations produce the following tableau:
( Cj) (A) (q) 6 X1
8 X2
0 S1
0 S2
8 X2 5 0 1
6 S2
1 0
Zj 85 6 8
Cj-Zj 0 0
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Since none of the Cj-Zj row coefficient associated with the basic variables is positive , the last tableau is optimal.
The optimum solution can be read from the simplex tableau in the following manner
Decision variables Optimum value X1 15/2 = 7.5 X2 5 Z 85
The M- Method ( Big – M) In the previous example , starting the simplex iterations at a basic feasible . For the LPs in which all the constraints are of the (≤) type, the stacks offer a convenient starting basic feasible solution. A natural question then arises : How can we find a starting basic solution for models that involve (=) and (≥) constraints?
The most common procedure for starting LPs that do not have convenient slacks is to use artificial variables and the closely related method is proposed for effecting this result : the M-Method (Big- M).
The M-Method starts with the LP in the standard form. For any equation (i) that does not have a slack , we augment an artificial variable (Ai) and assign them a penalty in the objective function to force them to zero level at a later iteration of the simplex algorithm.
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Given M is a sufficiently large positive value, the variable Ai is penalized in the objective function using -MAi in the case of maximization and +MAi in the case of minimization.
The following example provides the details of the method:
Min Z = 3X1 + 8X2
Subj. to:
X1≤ 80, X2 ≥ 60 , X1+ X2 = 200 , X1, X2 ≥ 0
Step1/ for convenient inequalities into equalities:
X1+ S1= 80
X2- S2 = 60
X1+ X2 = 200
Putting X1, X2 = 0 we get S1= 80 S2 =- 60
Therefore, we introduce artificial variables and the above constraints can be written as:
X1+ S1= 80
X2- S2 + A1 = 60
X1+ X2 + A2 = 200 A1 , A2 Artificial variables
Now addition of this artificial variable destroy the equality required by the L.p model . Therefore, A1 , A2 must not appear in the final solution . To achieve this it is assigned a very large penalty (TM) since Z is to be minimized in the objective function . Therefore we get:
X1+ S1+0S2+0A1+0A2= 80
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
X2+ 0S1-S2+A1+0A2= 60
X1+ X2+0S1+0S2+0A1+A2= 200
Min Z = 3X1+ 8X2+0S1+0S2+MA1+MA2

Zj 3-M 8-2M 0 M 0 0
Step 2/ identify the pivot column:
This is done by selecting the none basic variable having the largest negative value in Cj-Zj .
When all the elements in the Cj-Zj row are positive or zero the optimal solution is reached .
Step3/ identify the pivot row:
80/0 = 0 , 60/1 = 60 , 200/1 = 200
Pivot = 1 A1 X1

1-( 1X1) = 0

As Cj-Zj is positive under same column the current basic feasible solution is not optimal and needs to be improved .
Step4/ Identify the pivot row after identify the pivot column

The Dual Model The assignment model

Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
The dual Problem
The LP model we develop for a situation is referred to as the primal problem. The dual problem is a close relates mathematical definition that can be derived directly from the primal problem.
Consider a linear programming problem concerned with the maximization of an objective function Z with n decision variables and M constraints (primal). The dual this problem is concerned with minimization of the value of the objective function Ź with M decision variables and n constraints. Thus a maximization problem becomes minimization in the dual and vice verse.
In the mathematical form the primal can be stated as:
Max Z= C1X1+ C2X2+ ………. +CnXn
Subject to:
a11x1 +a12x2+ ……………….. + a1nxn≤ b1
a21x1 +a22x2+ ……………….. + a2nxn≤ b2
am1x1 +am2x2+ ……………….. + amnxn≤ bm
X1≥ 0 X2≥ 0 ………… Xn ≥ 0
The dual of this problem may be expressed in the following form:
Min Ź= b1y1+ b2y2+ ………. +bmym
Subject to:
a11y1 +a12y2+ ……………….. + am1yn≥ c1
a12y1 +a22y2+ ……………….. + am2ym≥ c2
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
a1my1 +a2ny2+ ……………….. + amnym≥cn
y1≥ 0 y2≥ 0 ………… ym ≥ 0
the variables and constraints of the dual problem can be constructed symmetrically from the primal problem as follows:
1- A dual variable is defined for each of the m primal constraint equations. 2- A dual constraint is defined for each primal of the n primal variables. 3- The left-hand-side coefficients of the dual constraint equal the constraint
(column) coefficient of the associated primal variable. Its right – hand side equals the objective coefficient of the same primal variable.
4- The objective coefficient of the dual equal the right- hand side of the primal constraint equations.
The following examples demonstrate the implementation of these rules.
Ex/ Consider the primal model:
Max Z =6X1 + 8X2
St.to: 2X1+5X2≤40
8X1+4X2≤80

The assignment model
Suppose a company has M jobs that must be completed and it has at least n workers who can perform any of the M jobs but possibly in a different amount of time. Which worker should be assigned to each job to minimize the overall time to complete all M jobs, if each worker is assigned to one and only one job. This is the classical assignment problem.
The general assignment model with n workers and M jobs is represented in the following matrix:
jobs 1 2 M bj
1 2 n
C11 C21 Cn1
C12 C22 Cn2
C1m C2m Cnm
1 1 1
workers
ai 1 1 1
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
The element Cij represents the cost of assigning worker i to job j (i= 1,2,…..,n) (j= 1,1,…..,m).
If we let:
Xij = 0 if worker i is not assigned to job j
1 if worker i is assigned to job j
Cij = efficiency associated with assigning worker i to job j.
Then mathematically the assignment problem can be stated as:
Minimize (maximize): Z= ij Xij
Subject to: for j= 1,2,………, m
for i= 1,2,………, n
Xij = 0 or 1 for al i and j
The following is a step by step algorithm that uses the Hungarian method to solve the general assignment problem.
Step 1: for the original cost matrix, identify each row’s minimum, and subtract it from all the entries of the row.
Step 2: For the matrix resulting from step 1, identify each column’s minimum, and subtract it from all the entries of the column.
Step 3: Draw the minimum number of horizontal and vertical lines in the last reduced matrix that will cover all the zero entries. If the number is equal the columns or rows the feasible assignment can be found, otherwise go to step 4.
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Step 4: Select the smallest uncover element, and subtract it from every uncovered element, then add it to every element at the intersection of two lines. And repeat step 3 until the feasible assignment found.
For example, suppose that three jobs must be assigned to three machines, each machine must be assigned to only one job, and each job must be assigned to only one machine.
The costs are shown below. Solve the problem by using the Hungarian algorithm.

Transportation Model
Introduction
The transportation model is a special class of the linear programming problem. It deals with the solution in which an item is shipped from sources (e.g. factories) to destinations (e.g. warehouses). The objective is to determine the amounts shipped from each source to each destination that minimize the total shipping cost while satisfying both the supply limits and the demand requirements.
The Mathematical Model
The general problem can be presented by the network.
- There are M sources. S1,S2…………..Sm - And n destinations. D1,D2…………..Dn - The arcs linking the sources and destinations represent the routes between
the sources and the destinations. - The transportations cost per unit = Cij and the amount shipped = Xij - The amount of supply at source i is ai and the amount of demand at
destination j is bj.
The objective of the model is to determine the unknown Xij that will minimize the total transportation cost, while satisfying all the supply and demand restrictions.

1) Determination of the starting solution. The transportation model is always balanced ( = ) i.e. the sum of supply= the sum of the demand. Thus, the model has Mth-1 basis variables.
The special structure of the transportation problem allows securing a nonartificial starting basic solution using one of three methods:
a- North-west- corner method. (N.W.C)
b- Least-cost method. (L.C.M) c- Vogal method. A) N.W.C. method:
The method starts at the North West – corner cell of the tableau (variable X11).
Step 1: Allocate as much as possible to the select cell, and adjust the associated amounts of supply and demand by subtracting the allocated amount.
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
Step 2: Cross out the row or column with zero supply or demand to indicate that no further assignments can be made in that row or column. If both the row and column net to zero simultaneously, cross out one only, and leave a zero supply (demand) in the uncrossed-out row (column).
Step3: If exactly one row or column is left uncrossed-out, stop. Otherwise, move to the cell to the right if a column has just been crossed or the one below if a row has been crossed out. Go to step1.
Example1:
In the following transportation problem use the north west- corner method (N.W.C) to find the starting solution.

= 2300 M+N-1=6
B) Least-Cost method:
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
The Least-cost method finds a better starting solution by concentrating on the cheapest routes. Instead of starting with the North West cell, we start by assigning as much as possible to cell with the smallest unit cost (ties are broken arbitrary). We then cross out the satisfied row or column, and adjust the amounts of supply and demand accordingly. If both a row and a column are satisfied simultaneously, only one is crossed out. Next, we always look for the uncrossed-out cell with the smallest unit cost and repeat the process until we are left at the end with exactly one uncrossed out row or column.
Example 2: the least -cost is applied to example (1)

= 1600
C) Vogal Method
Vogal method is an improved of version of the least cost method that generally produces better starting solutions.
Step 1: For each row (each column) determine a penalty measure by subtracting the smallest unit cost element in the row (column) from the next smallest unit cost element in the same row (column).
Step 2: Identify the row or column with the largest penalty. Break ties arbitrarily. Allocate as much as possible to the variable with the least unit cost in the selected
Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
row or column. Adjust the supply and demand and cross out the satisfied row or column.
Step 3: a) If exactly one row or column with supply or demand remains uncrossed out, stop.
b) If one row or column with positive supply (demand) remains uncrossed out, determine the basic variables in the row (column) by the least-cost method, stop.
c) If all the uncrossed out rows and columns have (remaining) zero supply and demand, determine the zero basic variables by the least-cost method.
d) Otherwise, go to step 1.
Example 3: Solve the transportation model of example (1) by using vogal method.

Industrial Engineering (IE) - Dr. Khallel Ibrahim Mahmoud
This solution happens to have the same objective value (1600) as in the Least-cost method (L.C). usually, however vogal method is expected to produce better starting solutions for the transportation method.
Stepping Stone Method (S.S)
After determining the starting ( using any of the three methods) we use one of the following method :
1. Stepping stone method. 2. Modified distribution method.
So to solve a transportation problem, we first find an initial solution ( values of Xij) and then improve the initial solution by reducing the cost through successive iterations until the minimum cost solution is found.
