Abstract
Several approaches have been advanced for solving transportation problems.
The most prominent of them in various text being, North West Corner
Rule(NWCR), Least Cost Method(LCM), and Vogel’s Approximation
Method(VAM). This paper considered three additional corner rules, which
are North East Corner Rule(NECR), South West Corner Rule(SWCR) and
South East Corner Rule(SECR). Algorithms ware provided for obtaining
initial feasible solution to Transportation Problems. Three test examples
were considered using the rules. The results revealed that the NECR and
SWCR have equal result. While NWCR and SECR also produce the same
result. NECR and SWCR however, better minimize transportation cost. The
two methods are therefore recommended for use in any business organization
requiring shipment of products.
