Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constraints in transportation LP problems usually deal with the capacities of origins (which limit the amount of goods that can be transported from a given location) and the requirements of destinations (which set the amount of goods that must be delivered to a given location). The quantity of items to be transported and the distance goods are to be transported are usually part of the objective function, rather than the constraints. The number of origins and destinations may affect the complexity of the problem, but is not typically a constraint.
