Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transportation problem is a special case of linear programming where the objective is to minimize the cost of transporting goods from several sources to several destinations, subject to supply and demand constraints. Because of its special structure, a specialized algorithm, such as the North-West Corner Method or the Vogel's Approximation Method, can be used to efficiently solve the problem. The other answer choices are not as specific and can refer to a variety of linear programming problems.
