In the transportation problem model for production planning, each method of manufacturing in each period is represented by a row. Therefore, with 3 periods and 4 methods of manufacturing in each period, you would need 3 * 4 = 12 rows for the methods. Additionally, you need 1 row to represent the demand constraint for each period, adding 3 more rows. This totals to 12 + 1 = 13 rows.
