The supply and demand quantities are known and fixed.
Transportation costs per unit are constant and known.
There is no intermediate transshipment between origins and destinations.
The number of units shipped can be any non-negative value.
it assumes that the supply at each source and the demand at each destination are known and fixed. Second, the transportation costs are constant and do not change, regardless of the amount transported. Third, it assumes that the entire supply from sources can be shipped directly to destinations without any intermediate stops or losses.
The key assumptions of the transportation problem include that the supply and demand at each location are known and fixed, costs associated with transportation are linear and constant, the objective is to minimize total transportation costs, and that all goods are identical and can be divided without any restrictions.
The key assumptions of the transportation problem that are supply and demand that is known and fixed, Transportation costs are linear and known. All goods are identical and the problem can be represented in a network format.
