Abstract
The transportation problem is a special class of the linear programming problem.
It deals with the situation in which a commodity is transported from source to
destinations.
The proposed transportation model of manufacturing good to customers (key
distributors) is considered in this research. The data gathered were modelled as
a linear programming model of transportation type and represent the transport
problem as a tableau and solve it with computer software solves to generate an
optional solution.
The main objective is to model the product of ABTS transportation as a
transportation problem and minimize the cost of transportation of plywood in
the ABTS Company. The quantitative method (QM) software will be used to
analyze the data.
