The transportation problem is a special kind of linear programming problem where the goal is to reduce the cost of transporting a given well from various sources or origins (such as factories or manufacturing facilities) to various destinations (e.g. warehouse, store). The transportation problem is an example of a specific form of linear programming problem that is used to allocate resources in the best possible way. Managers and supply chain engineers can greatly benefit from using this problem to save costs.
