This repository hosts a C# console application aimed at solving the transportation problem, a classic optimization challenge in operations research. The project utilizes a combination of the North-West Corner Rule for generating an initial feasible solution, and the Potential Method for refining this solution to minimize transportation costs between multiple suppliers and consumers.
Interactive Input: Users directly input supply, demand, and cost data through console prompts.
Detailed Output: Visual representation of solutions in the console for easy analysis.
Robust Error Handling: Incorporates custom exceptions for managing input errors.
Compile and run the TransportProblem class, input the required data as prompted, and view the step-by-step solution process from initial feasible setup to optimized cost distribution.
Contributors are welcome to enhance the application’s efficiency, add features, or improve its interface. Fork the repository, apply your changes, and submit a pull request for review.
