FOR ONLINE READING ONLY

Introduction

In this chapter, students will learn about formulation and
graphical solutions of linear transportation problems. Guide
students to understand some common methods of formulation of

linear programming problems of transportation with two sources
and two destinations, and with two sources and three destinations
by engaging students to discuss some real-life situations. The
competencies developed will enable them to decide, allocate,
select, schedule, and possibly evaluate resources to optimize
the available resources, especially in the fields of agriculture,
economics, finance, business, engineering, energy, manufacturing,
and transportation, among many other applications.

Students’ activities
(a) Applying linear programming to solve transportation problems
that involve two sources and two destinations
(b) Applying linear programming to solve transportation problems
that involve two sources and three destinations

Teaching and learning resources
Mathematical softwares such as Maple, GeoGebra, MATLAB,
Symbolab, Mathematical sets, scientific calculators, AI tools, manila
cards, flip charts, pairs of scissors, rubber bands, marker pens, ruler,
pencils, masking tapes, glue, graph papers, and coloured chalks.
