Abstract

In this paper, we deal with a numerical comparison between two exact simplicial methods for solving a capacitated four-index transportation problem. The first method was developed by R. Zitouni and A. Keraghel for solving this problem [Resolution of a capacitated transportation problem with four subscripts, Kybernetes, Emerald journals, 32, 9/10: 1450-1463 (2003)]. The second approach is the well-known simplex method.

We show across some obtained numerical results that the first algorithm competes well with the simplex method.
