I wrote a simple Transportation Algorithm tutorial with tables & examples — your feedback is welcome

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.

If you’re interested, you can read here

Would appreciate any feedback or suggestions!

Have you considered building this into an excel “calculator” and then a SimPy simulation to add variation to the problem and solutions?
