Introduction
The problems of distribution of goods from manufacturer to customer are generally described under a common heading, Transportation Problem (TP). The TP, originally developed by Hitchcock (1941), can be used when a firm tries to decide where to locate a new facility. Good financial decisions concerning facility location also attempt to minimize total transportation and production costs for the entire system. Moreover, there are many problems not exactly being called the TP but can be modelled alike.
