Abstract

In transportation problem the main objective is to obtain an Initial Basic Feasible Solution for the transportation problem. The aim of the transportation problem is to minimize the cost. In this paper, a new procedure (i.e.) Lowest Even Cost Method(LECM) which is proposed to find an initial basic feasible solution for the transportation problem. This method is ex with numerical examples.
