Solution
Limitations of Transportation Problem:
One commodity ONLY: any one product supplied and demanded at multiple locations
Merchandise
Electricity, water
Invalid for multiple commodities: (UNLESS transporting any one of the multiple commodities is
completely independent of transporting any other commodity and hence can be treated by itself
alone)
Example: transporting product 1 and product 2 from the supply points to the demand points
where the total amount (of the two products) transported on a link is subject to a capacity
constraint
Example: where economy of scale can be achieved by transporting the two products on the same
link at a larger total volume and at a lower unit cost of transportation.
