3. Unbalanced supply and demand example
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
Example
Find Solution using Voggel's Approximation method
| D1 | D2 | D3 | Supply | S1 | 4 | 8 | 8 | 76 | S2 | 16 | 24 | 16 | 82 | S3 | 8 | 16 | 24 | 77 | Demand | 72 | 102 | 41 | |
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` | 4 | 8 | 8 | | 76 | `S_2` | 16 | 24 | 16 | | 82 | `S_3` | 8 | 16 | 24 | | 77 | | Demand | 72 | 102 | 41 | | |
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
| `D_1` | `D_2` | `D_3` | `D_(dummy)` | | Supply | `S_1` | 4 | 8 | 8 | 0 | | 76 | `S_2` | 16 | 24 | 16 | 0 | | 82 | `S_3` | 8 | 16 | 24 | 0 | | 77 | | Demand | 72 | 102 | 41 | 20 | | |
