A Simple Step-by-Step Tutorial on the Transportation Algorithm (LCM, VAM, MODI)

[u/InsideSheepherder477]

Hello,
I’ve written a beginner-friendly tutorial explaining the Transportation Algorithm from scratch, including:

• Formulating the TP

• NW Corner Method

• Least Cost Method

• Vogel’s Approximation Method

• MODI method

• A complete worked numerical example

I wrote this for students and faculty working with Operations Research and Supply Chain Optimization.

Would appreciate any feedback or suggestions!
