Exam 25: The Transportation Models

XYZ has three supply chain locations with respective production capacities of an electronic component (Denver,Milwaukee,and Columbia)and three demand locations with their respective demand requirements for that electronic component.The demand requirements,production capacities,and the per-unit transportation costs are tabled in the transportation matrix shown here.Determine the initial shipping cost using the matrix least cost method.
