Total supply must equal to total demand in the transportation problem,but
each supply and demand value is 1 in the assignment problem.
model sum
you learn linear programming before you learn the transportation problem.
The assignment model simplifies the transportation problem by framing it as a special case where the goal is to minimize costs while assigning resources to tasks. It allows for a clear representation of supply and demand constraints, ensuring that each resource is allocated to exactly one task. By using algorithms such as the Hungarian method, it efficiently determines the optimal assignment that minimizes transportation costs, making it easier to find solutions in large-scale problems. This focused approach helps streamline decision-making in logistics and resource allocation.
A special case of the transportation problem in a linear program, in which the number of sources (assignees) equals the number of designations (assignments) and each supply and each demand equals 1
A constraint is a limitation that is visible and present. The difference between a constraint and risk is that a risk is problem that is not yet seen, or a potential problem.
Politics and semantics
An assignment may give you problems if you do not understand what the assignment asks you to do. An assignment without full instructions will put you at a disadvantage to complete.
A problem is what exists when there is a difference between the current situation and the desired one.
its a problem when you loose your shoe. its a hazard to ride your bike in the street.
A problem is what exists when there is a difference between the current situation and the desired one.
A problem is what exists when there is a difference between the current situation and the desired one.
Perhaps the difference lies in the distinct meaning or the words in question. For the problem statement, state the problem. For the mission statement, state your mission, or how you will address the problem.
