Before taking the self-test, refer to the learning objectives listed at the beginning of the module and the key terms listed at the end of the module.
LO C.1 With the transportation technique, the initial solution can be generated in any fashion one chooses. The only restriction(s) is that:
the solution be optimal.
one use the northwest-corner method.
the edge constraints for supply and demand be satisfied.
the solution not be degenerate.
all of the above.
LO C.2 The purpose of the stepping-stone method is to:
develop the initial solution to a transportation problem.
identify the relevant costs in a transportation problem.
determine whether a given solution is feasible.
assist one in moving from an initial feasible solution to ...
