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 is distributed and demand is met. Examples are provided to illustrate how each method solves a transportation problem step-by-step.
