APPROACH OF ZERO POINT METHOD FOR SOLVING SOLID TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM

Abstract

Solid transportation problems are generalizations of ordinary or classic transportation problems. Solid transportation problems consist of three types of constraints are source constraints, destination constraints, and conveyance constraints. Solution of balance solid transportation problem using approachof zero point method. Sensitivity analysis of the optimal solution in problem of solid transportation using the bound technique to obtain the sensitivity range, from the coefficient of the basevariable and the coefficient of non-base variables.The change of its variables that still in the range of sensitivity are optimal. Numeric solution that aplicated at UD Rizky Naja. Solution using approachof zero point method obtained more minimal cost compared to previous costs where the difference is Rp 257.200 Keywords: Solid Transportation Problems, Approach of Zero Point Method, Sensitivity Analysis, Bound Technique
