Transportation and transshipment problems are both considered special cases of a class of linear programming problems called:
A) minimum cost problems
B) minimum cost network flow problems
C) supply locations network problems
D) demand locations network problems

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transportation and transshipment problems are both examples of minimum cost network flow problems, where the objective is to minimize the cost of flow between sources and sinks in a network while satisfying capacity constraints. While supply and demand locations are important components of these problems, the overall class of problems is called minimum cost network flow.
