Dr. Sudhansu Sekhar Routray
Initial Basic Feasible Solution :-
 North-West Corner Method (NWCM)
 Least Cost Method (LCM)
 Vogels Approximation Method (VAM)
Optimum Basic Solution :-
 Modified Distribution Method (Modi Method)
 Stepping Stone Method
Content-
Transportation Problem Method :-
 Least Cost Method (LCM)
 Vogels Approximation Method (VAM)
Comparison Between Methods :-
 North-West Corner Method (NWCM)
 Least Cost Method (LCM)
 Vogels Approximation Method (VAM)
Least Cost Method :
 Method used to obtain the initial feasible solution for the
transportation problem.
 Here, the allocation begins with the cell which has the
minimum cost.
 The lower cost cell are chosen over the higher-cost cell
with the objective to have the least cost of transportation.
 The Least Cost Method is more optimal results than the
North-west Corner method.
Least Cost Method Application :
 Financial Analysis
 Economic Analysis
 Risk Assessment
 Transportation
 Environment Study
Least Cost Method :

Now we just multiply the cost of the cell with their respective
allocated values and add all of them to get the basic solution :
(300 * 1) + (250 * 2) + (150 * 5) + (50 * 3) + (250 * 3) + (200 * 2) = 2850
VOGELS APPROXIMATION METHOD
(VAM METHOD) :
 The Vogels Approximation Method is an improved
version of the least Cost Method.
 VAM is an iterative procedure calculated to find out
the initial feasible solution of the transportation
problem.
 Vogels Approximation Method is also called as
Penalty Method because the difference costs chosen
are nothing but the penalties of not choosing the least
cost routes.

North-West Corner Method :
Now we just multiply the cost of the cell with their respective
allocated values and add all of them to get the basic solution :
(250 * 3) + (50 * 1) + (300 * 6) + (100 * 5) + (300 * 3) + (200 * 2) = 4400
COMPARISON BETWEEN
NWCR vs LCM vs VAM
Northwest corner method (NWCM) -
 This method gives quick solution because it take short computation time.
 We get bad solution because solution is very far from optimal solution.
Least cost method (LCM) -
 Least cost method are used to obtain the shortest route, Take less
computation time than Vogels approximation method.
 It gives the best initial feasible solution which is nearer to the optimal solution.
Vogels approximation method (VAM) -
 Vogels approximation methods is slow because computations take long time.
 It gives the best initial feasible solution which is nearer to the optimal solution.
The cost of transportation with Vogels approximation method
and Least cost method is less than northwest corner method.
Here we discuss about solving techniques :-
