The document summarizes different methods for solving transportation problems in linear programming, which involve distributing goods from multiple sources to multiple destinations at minimum cost. It describes three common methods - the North-West Corner method, Least-Cost method, and Vogel's Approximation Method. Each method involves iteratively allocating quantities to routes based on costs until all supply and demand constraints are satisfied. Examples are provided to illustrate how each method solves a sample transportation problem step-by-step.
