Unbalanced supply and demand
If the total supply is not equal to the total demand then the problem is called unbalanced transportation problem.

It's solution :
1. If the total supply is more than the total demand, then we add a new column, with transportation cost 0
2. If the total demand is more than the total supply, then we add a new row, with transportation cost 0

Find Solution using Voggel's Approximation method
D1D2D3Supply
S148876
S216241682
S38162477
Demand7210241


Solution:
TOTAL number of supply constraints : 3
TOTAL number of demand constraints : 3
Problem Table is
`D_1``D_2``D_3`Supply
`S_1`48876
`S_2`16241682
`S_3`8162477
Demand7210241


Here Total Demand = 215 is less than Total Supply = 235. So We add a dummy demand constraint with 0 unit cost and with allocation 20.
Now, The modified table is

The maximum penalty, 16, occurs in row `S_2`.

The minimum `c_(ij)` in this row is `c_24` = 0.

The maximum allocation in this cell is min(82,20) = 20.
It satisfy demand of `D_(dummy)` and adjust the supply of `S_2` from 82 to 62 (82 - 20 = 62).
