Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constraints in transportation LP problems often involve the capacities of the origins (i.e. how much can be shipped from each location) and the requirements of the destinations (i.e. how much is needed at each location). The other options are also important factors in transportation LP problems, but they are typically included in the objective function rather than the constraints. The shipping cost and distance may be used in determining the objective function, while the number of items to be transported and number of origins/destinations are typically set parameters of the problem.
