Quantitative Techniques: Theory and Problems

PRACTICAL STEPS INVOLVED IN SOLVING MINIMISATION PROBLEMS

Step 1 →	See whether Number of Rows are equal to Number of Column. If yes, problem is balanced one; if not, then add a Dummy Row or Column to make the problem a balanced one by alloting zero value or specific value (if any given) to each cell of the Dummy Row or Column, as the case may be.
Step 2 →	Row Subtraction: Subtract the minimum element of each row from all elements of that row.Note: If there is zero in each row, there is no need for row substraction.
Step 3 →	Column Subtraction: Subtract the minimum element of each column from all elements of that column.Note: If there is zero in each column, there is no need for column substraction.
Step 4 →	Draw minimum number of Horizontal ...
